thanksgiving in California

We went to California for thanksgiving to celebrate with Aunt Lisa. She lives outside of LA, the traffice was crazy but we had fun. Mady had a nice plane ride except for a melt down due to her being exhausted but overall not to bad. We spent one day in Hollywood,Mady got sick and thus the red face, snot nose i dont care face in most pics. We visited the observatory in griffith park it was really cool, mady liked the ceiling art..she had a special turkey dress for thanksgiving which she chowed down on some turkey,green beans and mashed potatoes..mmmm
