Family Saturday

By MAGGIE WANG

We had a fun family day Saturday. Those are hard to come by during the Lakers' playoffs!

Maven and Austin's 2nd birthday presents to each other were getting together and watching "Sesame Street Live" on touring stage in Long Beach. Then the whole Kev and Mag families had a yummy lunch at California Pizza Kitchen.

From there, it was a drive northeast to Monterey Park to get me a haircut and our nails done before ...

Dinner with another Ding clan: Karisa (Kevin's first cousin), Brian, Timmy and Naya were in town. The kids sat at their own table for the first time ever. With Kevin's sister's family, we presented Kevin's parents with a planned 70th birthday gift to take a cruise together later in the summer.

Maven is wearing an adorable "Little Maven" dress (that's the actual name of the label put out by Tori Spelling), gifted from Auntie Kristen.

If you look closely, those aren't food particles on Maven's face. She scuffed up her nose and lip by showing Nanny Linda how she could (momentarily) run outside with her hands in her pockets. She loves to play with pockets, so hopefully she learned her lesson.
