Happy 70th Papa!

Papa turns 70 next week so we took him to BlueWater Grill for a early birthday dinner.

 We hope he enjoyed the evening and has a great year!

Happy Birthday Papa!

Thanksgiving

Grandma and Papa flew down for Thanksgiving and we had a great week with Taylor home too!

We spent the day watching football, cooking our favorite Thanksgiving meal

and then sharing lots of laughs with the Lebitski's who joined us for dessert and games.

LA Day

We played tourists in LA today!  First stop was the painted Micheltorena Stairs on Sunset Blvd.  There were several flights with different designs in a really funky neighborhood.

Then it was off to The Broad Museum just a few miles away.  It was 2 stories of varying art displays, some cooler than others.  I loved these glass tulips

 and gigantic balloon dog.

I think we all most enjoyed the gigantic dining table and shared lots of laughs when Leslie and Taylor got yelled at for touching the artwork!

We walked a few blocks to the Grand Central Market for dinner.  Such a cool space with multiple food vendor options so everyone was happy with their dinner choice!

We all agreed on McConnell's for ice cream before walking over to Angels Flight.

 I've seen this in so many pictures and was excited to see it was in the same area as the museum.  It was a dollar per person to ride the tram up the steep track

and a first for all of us!  I love exploring new spots and we had a great day!

Sunny's Sweet 16 Hoedown!

I joined Allie for Sunny's Sweet 16 Hoedown.  They had the cutest set up at her grandparent's house

with a cute drink station and delicious BBQ dinner.

They even hired the line dance instructor from The Stampede and the kids loved it!

This is the sweetest group of friends that make Allie so happy.  Happy Birthday to Sunny!  Now they all can finally drive!
