  • Santa Visited Mar Vista This Week

    It’s true! Santa came to town! He and his sleigh, Santa and SUVpulled by a very accommodating LAPD Pacific Division SUV, and with a police escort to boot, stopped several places all over town this week. Santa stop at Grand ViewSanta Stop in neighborhoodIt’s a show of community spirit on the LAPD’s part, and it’s a heart-warming event for the kids — and kids-at-heart. There are even elves. ElfThis year’s most requested items, according to Santa? Computers and video game consoles. I guess we have a very high-tech group of kids here in Mar Vista.

    Thanks, Pacific Division! Santa leavingBye, Santa! See you next year.

  • Block Party Fun!

    It’s been a week of colds and chilling out and not blogging (obviously). But I’m back in action and I want to start with a re-cap of our FANTASTIC 4th annual block party.

     

    There was the giant food tent:

    The giant bouncy (WITH slide):

    And of course, the DUNK TANK:

    What I don’t have pictures of, but were also awesome additions to the block party, were the baking contest, the raffle, the snow cone machine, the margarita machine, the kegs of beer from Angel City (thanks, neighbor Michael!), and the 2 (two? yes, two!) pinatas.

     

    Oh and also the fact that we had a WONDERFUL time hanging out with our neighbors and friends. It’s always such a blast. We love our street and we are blessed to know so many of our neighbors. Yay Mar Vista!
