A SCHOOL NIGHT ADVENTURE...

Being that we are homebodies, our little fam had quite the night tonight! We decided to be adventurous and take the kids outside of our little bubble and drive down to the LA temple to see the Christmas lights. ( a school night! Crazy!) The plan was to walk around the temple, take a few pics and then head over to Westwood to a fun little cookie place called Diddy Riese. Getting to the temple is always a little tricky due to traffic.....there is always traffic! Once we got to the temple the kids had fun walking around and taking pictures. (these pics do not show how great the lights were) What an amazing place. For those of you who have never been on the LA temple grounds, it sits up on a hill over looking all the craziness below. Beautiful. I love, love the palm trees around the temple. It makes it so Californiaish...not a word, I know. Continued below!

Loving LA....

After walking around the temple, we headed on over to Diddy Riese. To our surprise the street was closed due to a movie premiere! Red carpet, lights, newspaper people and all! Well, I was pretty excited when I saw what was going on! We found an over-priced parking spot and got out to check out the action. The premiere was for "Marley and Me"....you know the one with Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson. We got our cookies and enjoyed the surroundings! To my disappointment all the celebrities had already gone into the theater. (except Cojo, whopee....what a weirdo) As we were heading back to the car, we did get to grab a picture of the kids with the star who played Marley! Pretty cool! What a great night! See, sometimes it pays to venture 30 minutes past our house! We do live in LA, we definitely need to take more advantage! I LOVE it!

California Fall

Who says we don't have fall in Calif.??? We are only a couple months behind! So while some of you are braving the snow we are finally enjoying the beautiful colorful leaves! If you plan on visiting this great place Nov., Dec. is a PERFECT time!
