Home sweet home.

We safely made it back to one of our families favorite spots. Whittier California.

Yearly our family makes a trip to our home town Whittier California, just outside of L.A. (So I'm told). It is always such a delight.
We hardly have any problems during the 10-12ish hours it takes us to drive there.
The time in the car is usually spent: Sleeping, laughing, talking, or eating.
I loved, for the last hour, co-piloting and listening to the 4 different conversations going on in the back, that all, some how, ended up forming together into one conversation.
We safely arrived to my grandmothers home just around 5, I think, Saturday night. We then later went to eat dinner at my Tio Victors house.
We had a great time seeing our cousins. As well as finally getting to see Mikeys new finished home. It's so gorgeous.

Today was Sunday, duh. Church was at 9 so around 7 everyone was eating cereal, or grapefruit, YUM!
Getting closer to 8:15 us girls all hurried to finish brushing our teeth, doing make up, or fixing our hair.
I suppose daddy thought it was silly of us, and way funny that we would cram us 4 girls in and out of 1 (1 of the 2) bathroom doorways. So he took a photo,
here is Mara brushing her teeth.
Maria brushing her teeth while I do her hair with my eye liner, and mascara in my mouth,
and Kaytlyn getting ready to brush her teeth right after fixing her hair.
It was quite the morning.

We attended Sacrament meeting at Grandmas, then went over to Itas ward for their sacrament meeting. Even though we where all really tired, it was a great experience.
After the meetings we all got back in the Van and headed over to the Cemetery to see our beloved brother Benjamin. Along with Ito, and other wonderful relatives.
The Cemetery always brings such a wonderful feeling to me, I really enjoy every opportunity we can while we are in California to go to the Rose Hill Cemetery to see Benjamin.

After the Cemetery we went and had lunch at Itas while we visited. Lunch was DELICIOUS. We then came back to Grandmas house and now currently having "nap time". Dinner will be around 6. Grandma says we are having meatballs... well at least I hope! (:
I love California and wish we could come more often, but once a year is just fine with me.
I'm so thankful to the lord for providing us these opportunities to come and visit with Family.
It really is just so wonderful. The weather has been a bit cold. But of course, gorgeous.
It was so nice on our way here talking with my daddy about the weather, and places that we where passing by, he knows SO much. I love talking with him.
Tomorrow is Six Flags Magic Mountain.
Hopefully Tuesday will be the beach.
Then Wednesday we should be back to Provo in the late afternoon.
So a very short trip, but well worth it.(:
