California trip

Hello friends! We had a wonderful time in California visiting Jackie. We arrived Saturday afternoon and stayed until the following Friday afternoon. On sunday we were all able to go to church as a family, which was so nice. And then afterwards we were able to go up to the Oakland Temple. Stunning as always. Billy and Katie have never been to that temple, so it was nice to see how Katie loved seeing the "castle". We got some really cute pictures. These are 2 of my faves. All Katie wanted to do the entire week were there was go back to the temple. 

We got alot done in the short time we were there, and even did some home improvements for my parents as a surprise! I only wish we were there when they got home from their trip to Hawaii so we could have visited. BUT I would really like to plan a trip back out there in January for me and Katie's birthdays. And on the way stop at Disneyland! Wouldn't that be nice.

We also got to spend some time time with my brother and sister. Which is always nice too. Unfortunately I didn't make it to see any of my friends or extended family. That was the only thing that bummed me out.

Jackie and I also crafted quite a bit. We made her a journal and then I made my mom some decorative boxes for her room. For perfumes or just additional storage spaces. I really liked the way they turned out.

I always love going home and feeling the love there. And I can't wait to go back! Until next time friends...
