Thanksgiving Day Walks

Lakers VS Nets

I had a very memorable experience of attending a Lakers VS the Nets game with my brothers. I will treasure that experience. I am grateful to my thoughtful husband that encouraged me to go in his place to have this opportunity - I love you Brent!

Family Time

Santa Monica Pier

We had so much fun at the Santa Monica pier - we met Carly and her son Elliot there and explored a little aquarium. The kids had so much fun getting acquainted - for my children this was their first time meeting Elliot. It was so wonderful to spend time together!

Trampolines are Awesome

The kids and even the adults had so much fun playing on the trampoline! We loved watching uncle Jeff do flips!

Rise and Shine!

"Good morning Uncle Jeff, Uncle Darren and Aunt Shelly!" "What time is it?" "It's 6:30 AM already - Come on let's play!" We were awoken many a morning quite early to laughter and fun times all ready going on! Thanksgiving 2008 in California will always be on my list of favorites! Thanks again Justin and Marisa for opening your home to all of us!

Happy Birthday Emma!

what beats Waffles and hot chocolate with candles on your birthday?! Not to mention a few noise makers! ...who's idea was that anyway?!

Sand Angels

Emma and Lainey had so much fun making sand angels at the beach! Ethan enjoyed chasing the sea gulls with a stick.

Watch out water here we come!

Sunny California!

We had so much fun playing on the beach, while visiting my brother Justin and his wife Marisa and kids. Ethan wanted nothing to do with the water. Isaac and Emma however couldn't get enough of it! The warm sand between my toes, the sound of the waves it was truly a magical day! We can't wait to go back!!
