Palm Desert 2014

We've been visiting this same JW Marriott Resort for over 14 years (not hitting every year, but most). It's such a gorgeous hotel and we love it! 

The First night there we headed to The River to the Cheesecake Factory for some dinner. 

He never holds still! 

and throws a pretty mean "grouchy" face, reminiscent of Isaac's circa 2009.

Sitting on a giant, iron pig. 

The second night we ate at Mikado. The boys were thoroughly entertained by the chef and all of the fun. We missed Halle who was at Maggie's goodbye party back home. 

We thought Wyatt would love the fire...

but he was pretty scared...

ok really scared...

and, no, he didn't want shrimp flung into his mouth. 

super fun though! 

All of us! (my necklace broke while we were there) 

Chowing down on the ice cream!

Goofy dad as usual. 

Loves for my baby. 

Another Year Over…

And I can't wait for the new one to begin!

I have so many plans and goals for 2014 and I know it's going to be a great year.
