Fun with Grandma, Etc.




Grandma came out for a quick visit...We even squeezed in a Disneyland trip. Haha, poor Grandma had a bad back so we decided to rent a wheelchair...and unfortunately we didn't get to the front of any lines. 


Willa loved snuggling with Grandma


Tis the season for birthday parties! We have had 2-3 birthday parties per weekend for the past couple of months. Grandma got to tag along for one of them. 



I walked in the living room the other day to find Willa curled up and fast asleep in the laundry basket! She doesn't really nap anymore so my immediate reaction was to make sure she was breathing. She slept in there for about 30 mins. 




We went to see Disney's Frozen with a couple of our buddies, then walked around the Sherman Oaks Galleria.

A Heavenly Thanksgiving Week

The whole week of Thanksgiving could not have been better. Nana, Uncle Charlie, Aunt Megan, Uncle Woody & Aunt Marcia all came to California. We rented a house in the Santa Ynez Valley for a couple of days, then Patti hosted an incredible Thanksgiving Dinner. It was truly the most memorable week. 

Here are a bunch of photos in no particular order. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures from Thanksgiving Dinner.

Willa made several new friends at Koehler. She likes to run around with the other kids.

That's where the water fall flows in the Springtime
