A favorite breakfast destination for my family in Southern California in San Marino is Julienne. Their logo says Fine Foods and Celebrations and it is true. We have had many a fine celebration at Julienne. While in California to celebrate with my family Wednesday morning was set aside for the girls to have breakfast.
This was Laura’s first Julienne experience…

We were seated in the Library.
In the mirror…
My youngest niece Hope joined us for the first time here, too.
SIL Mandy, Sister Vera, my mom, and my sister Kathy.
It really is a joy to have all these cousins enjoy each others company. My girls and Little Miss Hope are the out of towners that look forward to any trips when they can all be together. They make the most of these get-togethers. The next time we will all be together again will be for Katie and Andrew’s wedding next March. Miss Hope will be the flower girl, our grand nephew Jackson will be the ring bearer and my brother Steve will officiate. We are all looking forward to it!
Hope all is well in your neck of the woods…

We are truly blessed.
I was just trying to remember the name of that little restaurant. My SIL and I were at the rose bowl on sunday and I was thinking it would have been a wonderful way to end our day.
Looks as if you all had so much fun š .

Ellen, I love it! Makes me so excited for March, such happiness, joy and love!
Love love love this! Can’t wait until we’re all together again…
Any restaurant with a library suits me just fine!
The gals in your family are lovely through all generations! Miss Hope is charming… I’m sure she’ll be a marvellous flower girl.
Those girl get-togethers are so important – and how lovely to include little Miss Hope. She’ll most likely always remember this first time with all the big girls!
What a cute flower girl she will be! I love that picture whre she joins the older cousins.
I’m looking forward to your next get-together along with you! BTW…you were all so colour coordinated for your outing.
Love these pictures!
It’s great to be part of such a loving family.
What a lovely setting for breakfast!
Oh how FuNnY!! I just saw on your “about me page” that one of your favorite movies is, “So I married an ax Murderer.” I LoVe ThAt MoViE!!! So Hubby keeps telling me that when he’s laid off he’s going to become a Beat Poet…Maybe your Dear could join him and we could all make the rounds at the coffee shops. I better brush up on my finger snaps ;-O.
I’m so sorry to hear your news…life has its twists and turns, but without them we would never learn to rely on the Lord.
He holds us all in His grip of grace…I’ll keep you in my prayers about the impending twists in the road.
