Part of my resolutions for the year is to start posting some more personal blogs … so here is my first one of the year! For those who don’t know, my family and I surprised my mom down in California on Christmas morning! Yes, after hanging out with the Ohl Family and then welcoming home CW4 Cook, my family and I hopped into the minivan and drove nonstop for 14 hours and 45 minutes to arrive at my parents’ doorstep on Christmas morning. We’d been planning it since the day after Thanksgiving and I am so proud to say – we pulled it off!!! My mom had NO IDEA! YAY!

Here are just a few shots from our time in California over the holidays. Enjoy!
