We used the birthdays and the long weekend as a wonderful reason to get together with the Killian family. Our mutual friends, the Pellegrins, also came for the visit. We basically spent the weekend eating and playing.
The restaurant right outside the hotel had the most wonderful breakfasts. Soon I will have to try to make their "Anaheim Scrambler" (scrambled eggs with thick-cut bacon, cheddar cheese, avocado, green onions, ... can't remember what else) as well as their "Baked French Toast" (cinnamon-y bread pieces baked in custard and topped with warm maple syrup).
We also enjoyed a bit of shopping, because our hotel was attached to a fancy-shmancy mall. Most of all though, we just hung out (in the four-star hotel Courtney got us for $58 a night!), and enjoyed each other's company and laughter.
At the mall play area are Connor and James on the left, Jude and Jenn on the right.
Hardworking mama Courtney takes Jacob with her everywhere. Isn't he cute?
Matt and I help babysit now and then. Nice how we just sit back and let him get into stuff, eh? That's my wallet in his hands...always teaching him such great things. The best one this weekend was how if he asks really sweetly and relentlessly, I will give him a small piece of gum (which he will swallow in five seconds and ask for more).
The end...back to the real world.
