Salt Creek

On Sunday we had such a lovely November day!  We went down to Salt Creek for a walk, and it was a beautiful day at the beach.  The sun was shining, the ocean was sparkling, and the girls had a blast playing together in the sand.

We headed over to Laguna Beach for lunch and some shopping.  It was the perfect Sunday!

Mickey's Trick or Treat Halloween Party

On October 22nd we went to Mickey's Trick or Treat Halloween party at California Adventure with Teresa, Alyssa, Twyla, Paula, Jadyn and the girls favorite dance teacher, Miss Anna.  Laura, Anna's daugther works as a Candy Corn Princess during the event!  The girls had such a great time together talking to "What" the scarecrow without a brain, going on rides, dancing, hula-hooping, and dancing in the parade with the characters.  It was such a fun event!  We'll never pass it up again!

NUVO

Makenzie went to NUVO with her friends this past weekend in the Nu-bies category.  Instead of a whole weekend, it was only three hours and perfect for her and her friends.  Makenzie was totally starstruck with Ivan Koumaev during hip hop.  She kept giving him all these "hip-hop" gestures that she was ready to move on after he gave them the choreography.  It was SO FUNNY watch! 

Halloween!

Of course it is just my luck that one camera broke and the other was on a weird setting for the last two weeks, causing me to take the worst pictures of so many great holiday events!  At least Manny showed me how to fix the settings for next time, but I am still bummed to have blurry pictures of Halloween.  Thankfully we have Halloween do-over this Sunday with Ella, Jordyn and Tyler!  More pictures to follow!

She had to be bribed with lots of chocolate to keep the costume on all night! 

 We had such a great time trick or treating!  We went around Balboa Island with Makenzie's BFF from school Mahrou.  Her parents own a delicious restaurant on the island, and after a few hours of trick or treating, we were treated to one of the best meals I've had in a long time!  The wine was flowing and the food kept coming.  It was such a great night!
