Britney Spears abandoned a recording trip to Miami, Florida last weekend to spend time with her family in Louisiana instead. The star filed from divorce from husband Kevin Federline on November 7 and the couple is now involved in a bitter battle to secure custody of their two young sons Sean Preston, 14 months, and Jayden James, two months. Producer Pharrell Williams confirmed he was going into the studio with Spears to continue working on her new album, but she reportedly had a change of heart at the last minute and decided to spend quality time with her family after her emotional week. Spears enjoyed dinner on Monday night at a restaurant in her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana accompanied by members of her family and was photographed kissing son Sean Preston on the head when he began to cry. During her stay, she also paid a visit to longtime family friend Nyla Price, 55, who owns Nyla's Burger Basket in nearby Osyka, Mississippi, a Spears family favourite, along with her kids and other friends and family. Price tells American publication People, "(Spears is) a wonderful mother and she's doing great right now. She looks beautiful with her cute little short hair cut. She's happy and doing just fine. The babies are gorgeous - both of them are so adorable." According to sources, Spears and her sons left Kentwood yesterday.
