Day Out with Eloise

Melanie and Nick were both working Saturday afternoon, so Stace and I went to Glendale to hang out with Eloise. Stace was excited to make a trip to the Lego store in the Glendale Galleria, and Ellie thought this was a great idea, too.

(Getting to one of the best malls in L.A. on the Saturday before Christmas? Not a great idea. A 2-mile drive took over an hour because of the traffic!) 

We went to Ellie's favorite sushi restaurant, the place Melanie and Ellie took me a year ago for my birthday. Stace enjoyed his first experience at a sushi place with the revolving belt with the small plates of food going by.

We braved the crowds in the evening to walk across to the Americana at Brand, the fancy lovely outdoor mall with the huge fountain.

Enjoying the lights and decorations with a little one - the best!

It was a great Christmas-y day with our niece!
