Holiday weekend

It's been so nice having the chance to spend time with Shefali, Vishual and the kids. It's like we pick up where we left off.. except the kids just keep getting bigger!

Today we met up in Santa Monica. We had lunch at Johnny Rockets and walked around listening to all the Christmas entertainment.
Saachi and Austin are still buddies. They held hands as we walked the streets in Santa Monica
(no clue who the kid is in the background) we don't know him. But Saachi, Shiv and Austin had fun hanging out.
We stopped to see the flying helicopter in Brookstone. Very cool.. might be on someone's Christmas list....
The kids all had balloons made
Of coarse Austin & Kain chose swords.
lots of different balloons were made.
The Gang: Shaan (3) Shiv (4) Kain (1) Austin (4) Saachi (6)
Shaan & Kain are little buddies today
Austin and Shiv of coarse are buddies!
My best bud!
All smiles
Just wish they could live here...
On Friday night, Eric and I were able to get out to meet Shefali & Vishual, the brother, girlfriend, other brother, wife.. etc. We met up at Katsuya in Brentwood, Ca. Very cool place!

I would highly recommend the cucumber/watermelon mojito!
Friday morning after the crazy "BLACK FRIDAY" chaos, we started hanging the Christmas lights.
Austin was a big help! We have the Palm tree taken care of and part of the fence.

Eric and I are going to finish the other part of the fence tonight. (yes, in the dark) and tomorrow we will finish up with the balcony and roof.
Kain LOVES the snow globe. He is totally mesmerized by it!
Austin likes it too. It's now become a fixture on our dinner table.
Hopefully we finish up the lights before the rain comes.... It (might) rain tomorrow. We will see..

off to finish up....

Hope your weekend is going as good as ours!
