Lemonade out of Lemons

My sweet grandfather passed away. He was such a kind man and he will be missed but we know he is happily reunited with my grandma. We headed to California for the funeral services. Even though it was a sad time we were so happy and excited to get to spend some time with my family.
Juan was in New York so I braved the 6 hour drive by myself with the girls. Thankfully the drive was uneventful. Layla is very good in the car however Tatum is not so much. She did a decent job keeping it together on the drive there. Juan arrived into town later that evening.

Our first stop was to the Hackney house. They were nice enough to let all 4 of us camp out in the guest room! Thanks again guys! Layla and Tobin had fun shooting hoops together.
Then we met a whole lot of my family at our favorite family restaurant in Long Beach! Super yummy and fun!


Layla was so excited to see all of her cousins. She misses them so much!Layla and grandma Karen

And Layla's favorite Uncle Adam

The next morning the girls were up sooooo early and we didn't want to wake the Hackney's so I suggested a quick trip to the beach. Lovely early morning family photo.

Layla had fun looking for seashells.

All dressed up for the funeral services

Since all of my brothers and sisters were all in town we decided to rent a house in Palm Springs so we could spend a few days of fun together. Lemonade out of lemons!!
