We had a nice family party this past Thursday since my cousin Bob and his wife Jean were in town from San Francisco to spend some time with his daughter Kira, her husband Aaron and their almost 2 year old son Kian visiting from New York City.
Kira and Aaron
My cousin Lisa and her husband Greg hosted a mid week party in their Pacific Palisades home. It was a lovely, hot summer day made so pleasant by spending time with family.
We drove on Pacific Coast highway to arrive in Pacific Palisades where the party was being held mid day.
Lisa has a gardening business. Her yard is overflowing with beautiful green plants
Cousins Kira and Nancy
Cousin Jean busy in the kitchen
Cousins Barb and Bob
The private quiet garden felt like a hidden treasure...
Lisa and Greg's children Orsen (a senior at Palisades High) and Emma (13 yrs. and incoming Freshman at Pali High).
There are beautiful plants and trees everywhere in the garden
Lots of time to munch on goodies, drink Hawaiian beer and Margaritas and catch up
Tamales, spanish rice, mexican corn salad, pico de gallo salsa, chips and guacamole
Green chili pork stew, red and green enchiladas, corn and flour tortillas and a green salad
chocolate chip cookies, watermelon and tres leches cake
Still on NYC time Kian woke up after a long afternoon nap and entertained us all with
his sweetness.
Nancy was teaching him some funny face tricks...
Then there was fun with bubbles. Emma is such a great helper with Kian.
More bubble magic
some time with daddy
A huge thank you to Lisa and Greg for hosting such a wonderful family day.
