For New Years, my little brother and sister (Nathan and Whitney) got to come visit. We enjoyed exploring the Getty Museum. Apparently the dress code was to wear pink and stripes:)
We picked citrus fruit in Ian's Grandparent's orchard.
We had breakfast at the Santa Anita Race Track and watched the horses warm up for their races.
We had a pizza party at Larry and Lisa's house with their pizza oven.
My mother-in-law, Margaret, helped us get in special to see the Rose Parade floats.
They had their first experience throwing marshmallows at cars on New Years Eve on the Rose Parade route.
We then went back in the morning to watch the Rose Parade. I am always blown away with the incredible floats.
Some Spartan fans getting excited about the game.
Ian's favorite part is always the fly over to start the parade.
Ian still has four living grandparents who both came to the parade. It was fun to also spend time with them over Christmas and New Years.
At one point a float broke down and we had to wait a while for the parade to start moving again. Luckily, the Harlem Globe Trotters were stopped in front of us so we were able to get a picture.
We drove down the coast and had breakfast at Las Brisas with my cousin Taylor and his wife Brooke.
Afterwards, the boys did a little surfing and the girls got to relax on the beach.
We sure enjoyed Whitney and Nathan's visit. Come back soon!
