Thanksgiving

We had a nice Thanksgiving this year. We watched the Macy's Day Parade, walked to the park to play a little football, and had a traditional turkey dinner. It was a nice and relaxing day. Here's a few pictures of the boys playing football.

Legoland

We went to Legoland this week. It was so fun to be there as a family and see all the amazing lego statues. We got 2-day passes so we could take it at a slower pace.

Day 1:

our first ride

Robbie loved these boats. He got to drive by himself.

Riding the boat around to see some of the lego statues.

At the end of the day we checked out the Sea Life Aquarium.

Afterwards we met up with Uncle Bobby, Aunt Jessica, Breanna and Trent for dinner.

Day 2: We went back again and rode the rides we didn't get to the first day.

The first roller coaster of the day...

Hero's race: you had to pump the truck down to the building, catch the bad guy with the water gun, and pump the truck back. Brian and Robbie got second place!
Legoland has these amazing "miniland" set ups built out of legos. Here's a few of our favorites...the capitol building.

Legoland was so much fun! Perfect for Robbie's age. He loved the rides and the statues. It was really fun for Brian to have a few days off and spend some time as a family!

LA Auto Show

We went to the LA Auto Show on Saturday.

We parked at Brian's building since it's right down the street and went up for a look.

Brian's Birthday

Brian had his birthday this week!
We had cake...

Play Group

We go to a play group once a week at Reagan Park. I took some pics of the kids this week.

Robbie and friends with their baby sisters.

These 3 get along so well. We are going to miss Daphne when she moves at the end of the year.

I loved this shot of Robbie in the tree.

LA Temple

I got to go to the temple this past week for the first time since Lydi's birth. Our stake was having a "Sister's Day at the Temple", and it was a sweet experience to be there with the women in my ward. Brian and the kids hung out in the visitors center. I'm so glad that I got to go and that the kids were good.

Primary Program

Today was Robbie's Primary Program. I was so proud of him! He delivered his lines (3 parts) well and sang nicely. I love to watch all of the kids.

Basketball

We had another week of basketball. Robbie's coach brought a kid size basket for them to practice shooting.

Daddy got off work early and surprised us!
