The day before we left for California, Daniel's sweet cousin came to visit and brought her darling boy with her. Isn't it wonderful how you gain a whole family when you get married? I got lucky!
A little conversation between a girl and her Deda (her great-grandpa).
What a difference from the Anni of last year who wouldn't dare jump off the edge of the pool.
The reason we came to California... to celebrate Baba's 80th birthday! It was a lovely celebration.
After the party, we weren't sure if Anni would see her much-loved cousin again. She cried the whole way back to the hotel, "But we love each other! She's my cousin, and I'm hers, and we are each other's cousins!" Well, the next morning, her family was able to make it to the same Mass as us... so the sweet cousins were briefly reunited.
Beach baby! We found a sweet little beach called "Mother's Beach" where there are no waves, but lots of sand and water. The girls loved it... we actually went there twice during our trip.
Our farewell to California. We spent a few last hours at Deda and Baba's house, and then made the trip home to frantically get ready for my family's arrival in Colorado.
These are the BEST pictures ever. Until next week, I'm sure.
