Sunny with a side of Palm Trees

There is nothing better than escaping the cold weather for a little sunshine and family. We had four packed days of absolute craziness.

And later that night, we took Taylor out for her bachelorette surprise. Now, don't think less of us, but we took her to a "dancing" class. Yep, you heard me. A "dancing" class. And it was the funniest, most entertaining two hours of my life.

And last but not least, a beautiful beautiful wedding. Incredible food, incredible reception, gorgeous people, and six handsome brothers, together for the first time in a long while. We obviously spent some time in the photobooth....

Now we musn't forget the late night talks until 2am every night, the breakfast bash at Grandma's house, the beautiful temple ceremony, the In n' Out trips, pestering Aunt Rachel at Macaroni Grill, shopping with the girls, or the constant racing from one event to another. I really don't even remember sleeping. I hardly put my camera down...in fact, I had a black thumb from taking so many pictures AND a bruise on my forehead from my camera. Sounds pathetic, I know. But this trip totally solidified how fetching radical my in-laws are...and how blessed I am to be a part of this fam.
I love you guys. Seriously.

Tell all the Niu girls they look like the Radio City Rockettes. Oops, maybe no one in your generation knows who the Rockettes are. Actually, the Rockettes are world famous and have been around for about 79-80 years. I loved your post and so glad the little girls enjoyed the Arizona sun. http://www.radiocitychristmas.com/nationaltour/

Sounds like you guys had a blast-- love the dancing tights by the way. Great in-laws can be just heavenly! Your cute little family just keeps getting bigger! Your baby is hardly recognizable since the last time I looked at your blog-- simply adorable though!
