Doesn't get much better...

After soccer, we drove down to LA for a quick weekend anniversary trip. Rather than leave the kids at home, we decided to include them in our celebratory weekend.

We made reservations for the kids' first trip to Lawry's!  Lawry's does not disappoint.  Jason kept repeating, "Mmmm... this is really good."

 
On Sunday morning, we met our favorite photographer, Holly, at UCLA for family pictures.  On our previous trip to LA, we gave the kids the UCLA tour and we quickly remembered the beauty of this campus.  Since Holly is also a UCLA grad, she was happy to meet us on campus for our photo shoot.

We were fortunate to get some sneak peaks sent to us... cannot wait to see the rest!

I don't know what it is about Coffee Bean, but we all love it!  After our photos, it was Ice Blendeds for everyone.  Happy times!

And then lunch at my all time favorite Vietnamese restaurant.  Now this is a good day.  Sho is so lucky... no flowers or jewelry, just some eggrolls with peanut sauce and I am a happy camper.

We even got a chance to visit the Gordon family, which is always fantastic, but always way too short.  The kids could not wait to see Maya and Cy and it was so hard for them so say good-bye.

I don't think it gets much better... the food, the photos and the fun.  It definitely doesn't get better than Sho.  Twelve years... I am thankful every day.
