Lily & Leo

Lily celebrates her first Easter this weekend!  I picked out flowers and arranged them myself for the first time this weekend, because I wanted some fresh pretty flowers for the holiday!  I got sunflowers, carnations in white, pink, and white with blue sprayed tips, purple flowers (I forgot the name but it’s really pretty), stargazers, calla lily, and some greeneries!  I also got a basket that was on sale (60% off) at Jo-Ann’s and got some carrots, and bunny ears as props for this weekend’s celebration!  Don’t the flowers look so pretty??  The bunny in the picture below is also very cute =P.  I just love this dress on Lily, I got it from Baby Gap, it’s so cute and pretty!  I dressed her up with my pearl necklace Khoa’s grandmother gave me a toddler pearl headband I got at target! =)

We started the weekend Saturday morning by going to try out a free Gymboree Learn & Play (Level 2) class in Anaheim Hills.  Overall I think she had an okay time.  She liked the this wall mirror the most, and didn’t really care for ther other foam obstacles.  She liked the play balls they had and all the bubbles too.  She was also very curious about the giant parachute, but I think because there were so many people in the class, about 10-12 babies and twice the amount of adults, she was too overwhelmed and didn’t want to be detached from us.  So the only time she was ok was when she was on our lap or playing somewhere distant from the rest of the people haha.  I think this class might be a little too intense for her so we won’t be coming back for awhile, maybe we’ll try again when she’s older!  Overall though, we got some cute photos of her when we did enjoy her time! =)

Baby soccer time!

Lily loves the bubbles!

Lily fascinated with the giant parachute!

We had lunch at that new place we haven’t been to before that’s conveniently right next to the Gymboree, called Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill.  The food was really tasty there and what was really cool was that they had a complimentary baby plate for Lily that consisted of cheerios, half a banana, and 2 slices of orange!!  She totally enjoyed her little plate and loved looking around at the surrounding decorations.  This was the first time she tried eating orange too, and it looked like she loved it!!

We went to an Easter event that our friends Drexelle and David invited us to at their church Mariner’s Church.  They had a big easter egg hunt at the start of the event, but we missed it since we had Lily’s gymboree class and lunch ran late.  It was a good thing we missed it though because it sounded like it was very chaotic and we didn’t want lily to get trampled over either. They had a separate baby section from age 0-3 years, but even then that’s a big age range.  We met up with Drexelle, David, Knightly and Mike at the event and hung out with Drexelle’s family as well.  It was so nice to see cute little Knightly and Drex’s family was totally gushing over Lily!  Here are some photos that David and Drexelle took for us, arent’ they so lovely?!  Thanks so much D. Park Photography for these awesome photos!!!

Sunday we went to church with Khoa’s parents and had lunch at his parents house.  His dad made banh xeo, yummy!!!  After lunch, Khoa and I enjoyed our annual easter egg scavenger hunt in our home!  Ever since we moved into our new home almost 4 years ago, Khoa always made me an easter egg scavenger hunt in our house.  He would hide eggs with candy in them, with clues that’ll lead me to find several eggs lying around the house.  He would write the clues in first person of the egg, so it was fun to read it from the egg’s perspective!  This year I get to do the hunt with Lily’s help!  Khoa even put some cheerios and puffs inside the eggs for Lily to enjoy, so that it’s not just for me!  It’s a fun tradition that Khoa and I have, and now we get to have Lily join us as well.  We then ended our holiday by catching up on our shows.  Nothing’s better than relaxing at home cuddled up on the coach with the ones you love! =)  For more pictures from our Easter weekend, click here!  Happy Easter everyone!!
