Happy Thanksgiving

It was a quiet one for us. I made a traditional meal with every detail. The turkey was brined and roasted perfectly this time. And all the sides were delicious. Of course, pumpkin pie and pecan pie too. We had plenty of down time, relaxing on the couch, watching some classic movies. Simple day, reflecting on all our blessings and how grateful we are for all of you. Hope your day was wonderful.

Yo Gabba Gabba

Today we took the kids to LA to see Yo Gabba Gabba Live. We arrived early to grab lunch at The Yard House. Mommy and Daddy needed a beer to withstand 2 hours of kids' music and dancing characters. Overall, it was a good day. Lauren LOVED the show. She danced and sang from start to finish. I really liked the rapper Biz Marquee. It was adorable when he had kids come on stage to perform with him. The look on Lauren's face when DJ Lance Rock came on stage was priceless! We'll have to get that video clip posted soon. Now off to make turkey sandwiches...yum!

U-C-L-A

Can you guess which team we are rooting for? After beating USC we are pretty pleased with our new coach and our whole season. We hope to beat Stanford Saturday and earn the title of PAC12 champs.

Cute

That's all. Just cute. She was practicing her cute pose for our family pictures. If you think that's good, just wait until you see what the photographer got! Holy moly!

Andria's Wedding

After months of planning, the big day finally arrived for my beautiful sister, Andria, and her wonderful fiancé, Roberto. It was a perfect day, filled with so many reminders of how blessed I am. The kids did a great job as flower girl and ring bearer. I was honored to be a member of the wedding party and had such a great time with the party crew (all 20 of us!). Thank goodness Rob was able to take such a huge role with the kids, so I could be present for Andria. Lauren had such a great time dancing that she literally feel asleep on her feet! One minute we were rocking out to Italian songs and then her hand slipped out of mine. As I picked her up, she laid her head on my shoulder and conked out! It was a full day of fun for all of us. Of course more photos will be coming after the photographer gets done, but here are a few to get you started...

Lauren has an early birthday celebration

Although Lauren's birthday isn't until this coming Thursday, Oct 25th, we had an early celebration at Grandma Laura's house last night.  She loves the ruby red shoes she received from Grandma and Pa.
