It was a gorgeous sunny day so we headed to the beach to play. Making castles in the sand  Not a bad view for lunch at the Malibu Seafood Fish Market…a new tradition when we hit the beach.

 Happy Thanksgiving!!  We are very thankful Grandpa and Grandma are here with us this year!   The Pie Ladies baking up a delicious pumpkin pie Piper decorated the table and made homemade place settings.  Crafts the kids made at school A peacock sighting in front of our house this morning.

The weather the last few days has been beautiful.  We thought it was a perfect day to have a picnic at Lacy Park since Piper was finished with school at 11:30. (Piper loves a picnic!) After lunch the kids rode their bikes around the big loop.  Grandpa joined in on the fun on the scooter.  Later that afternoon we strolled around the gardens of the Norton Simon Museum.   Playing Frisbee  The gardens of the Norton Simon Musuem

We’ve been keeping busy with Grandma and Grandpa.  Earlier in the week we visited the Arboretum.  The weather was a little chilly but nice.  Today, we visited Daddy at his work.  It was a real treat to walk around the Studio for Grandma and Grandpa.  We walked down Main Street, around the sound stages and had lunch.    Wheel of Fortune Stage The Arboretum

We visited the The Grove which is an outdoor mall today.  Piper and mommy attended a birthday party at the American Girl cafe while Grandma and Grandpa walked around.  (Andrew and daddy hung out home together.)  Everything was decorated for Christmas which made it extra special.  Since things were so clear after the rain we stopped by the Hollywood sign to take some pictures.  We could see all the way to the ocean. Santa flying over Piper and Chloe (the birthday girl)  At the Hollywood Reservoir where you can see the ocean in the background.
