Molest-a-Bear and Other California Adventures

In case you didn't see it on my blog, Anna fell in love on Thursday at South Coast Plaza and proceeded with about 5 minutes of PDA that brought both a number of Nordstrom shoppers and employees great enjoyment. When we left, Steve told the girl behind the counter, "You still have one slightly violated bear to sell."







Also, we had a great time in California this week. Even though the weather was FREEZING, staying at Grandma's when it's cold is still better than staying at home when it's warm. Anna loved the jacuzzi and the birds and the flowers only slightly less than that bear. Tiffany's wedding was beautiful, but somehow I completely missed taking any pictures in Anna's new dress so I had to pull it down from an online boutique (and you can't really tell, but it is so heirloomingly beatiful I almost cried when I first saw it).




We also got to spend time with Jenny Sidebotham and her adorable kids, Jayden and Hope. Anna had so much fun playing with them, as well as having her own bag of pretzels all to herself.



We also had lunch yesterday with my brother Nick and my dad and his wife, Vicki. Nick is so great with babies and Anna loved him because he'd happily go wherever she pointed.
