La Quinta

Taylor, Anna, and Hudson,

Before Christmas we wanted to do what we could to spend time as a family.  

Nothing sounded better than lazy days in the pool, movie nights, and good old QT as a family.  

On the Saturday before Christmas, we loaded into the car and headed off to La Quinta.

We thought it would be a quick 7.5-8 hours, and we were almost right, it was TEN!! hours in the car.

I might mention, that it was a very long trip, but for the most part, no one was terribly behaved.

It was just TEN hours in the car.

We arrived at the hotel, checked in, and jumped in the pool at 9pm. 

Taylor, you and Hudson snuggled up together and it was too cute!

 Bright and early the next morning we started with breakfast and a walk around the hotel.

 Taylor, we had the chance to have a power walking date.  

Remember, elbows up and move those arms!

 Happy Hudson.

 "Hudson, show me your mad face."

 Happy Hubbie.

"Throoooooow meeeeee Daddy" 

 Hands down, my favorite picture from the trip.

This photo captures the pure joy we felt for a few days.

  Another favorite from the trip.

 Off to dinner with my beautiful girls.

 Our family of five.  The picture isn't perfect, but the trip was.

This trip was magical.

The sun was shining. It was warm. We were together.
