In November, the kids and I flew to Southern California to spend a week in Newport Beach with my parents and my sister, Jillian. The reason we decided to get out of the cold? Paul was out-of-town for two weeks on a dive trip in Mexico with his buddy Jarrid, so we thought it would be nice to get away too! Besides, being at home without him for two weeks would have been pretty lonely :). So, while we were there....
Opa spent some afternoons watching the kids while my mom and I shopped (it was SO nice!!) and one time we came home to this HUGE tower. The kids were so excited about it!!
We did some more shopping...
...and the kids got to ride the merry-go-round, which were reindeer, very cute! Will was scared of it and Kennedy asked me, "how do you make this go faster?!".
...saw Jessica Simpson signing autographs at Macy's :).
...and Kennedy got to pretend she was a window mannequin for Gap! (Is this really an outfit a kid gets to wear in November?!)
We spent time at the pool...and the kids enjoyed smoothies and got to play with life-size chess pieces.
We got to meet up with most of Paul's family at Downtown Disney!! We were SO happy to see them!
Sharon, Stacey, Baby Hannah, Trisha, Kennedy, Mason and Jenny
Can't really see us, but group photo!
And the highlight of the kid's trip...The Pretend City!!! It is located in Irvine and it's just perfect for little kids! The kids had ball "pretending". If you live in the area or are visiting, you should definitely check it out.
They got to go to the Post Office...

Work at a restaurant..
Be a dentist...
Be a doctor and put on a cast...
Wait in a waiting room...

Shop at the grocery store...
And make a deli sandwich...Kennedy's favorite part!
