We took Julia and Valerie to the Easter Egg Hunt in Grapevine. Julia had a great time looking for eggs. Julia ran all around and then finally decided to pick up some eggs. Valerie just liked chewing on the plastic eggs.
Today Angela and I both took her to the zoo. She had a great time with mommy and grandma.
Sorry for this next picture. I just can not resist. Oh yea I forgot the kangaroos. She loves the kangaroos
Julia keep wanting Valerie watch her as she played. We think she was showing Valerie the ends and outs of the park.
We all love the sunshine and playing at the park. I think we will spend a lot of time here this summer.
We left there wanting to go shopping and ended up at Grapevine Mills Mall. Julia got to ride the Merry Go Round and the new train they have. We got a lot of Spring shopping done and even ran into Cousin Kanna. Then we ended the day at the Grapevine Botanical Gardens for an Easter Egg Hunt and planted grass in an Easter Basket. Julia keeps asking to garden so she had a blast. It was great fun watching her interact with other children.
Two sweet little flowers posed for pictures.
We had a great day walking around and being outside all together. Sunshine is something we have not seen much of lately. So it was nice to have a nice sunny day
Mom and Dad are very proud of their little cupcake.
The guest were all served a delicious brunch but not before they put on their cupcake chef hats.
After eating brunch there was a cupcake decorating contest. Cousin Lauren and Kristin shared first place.
Presents were Julia's highlight. She was very excited when she opened up each present. She wanted to stop and play with each one as they were opened.
She did a great job blowing out her pinkalicious cupcakes. Angela worked hard making homemade cupcakes. They were delicious and don't they look beautiful!
I could not close without showing off my two cupcakes. Valerie is 10 months old here. This was her first birthday party.
Those who know Angela, know she is all about the details. This party was full of details. There were cupcakes, cupcake decorations and banner, cupcake table clothes, cupcake plates, cupcake napkins, cupcake lights, cupcake platters, cupcake wrapping paper, mom's cupcake apron, cupcake ribbon and even the party whistles where stamped with a cupcake. The party favors was an apron with a cupcake.
Great party, Angela and Jeff. Julia is a lucky little girl to have you two for parents. 
We had a great day. We started out at Jump for Fun in Southlake. Aunt Renee and baby Valerie joined us. They bounced and bounced while Valerie and I watched. Actually they bounced with Valerie some.
Julia loved being the birthday girl. Everyone keep stopping her and asking if it was her birthday. She really started getting into it. She loved the attention.
Then we went to her school, just as her friends were waking up from naps and her class sang Happy Birthday to her and ate Cupcake Cookies on a stick. Again .... loved the attention.
Then that evening we went to Chuck E. Cheese. It was her first time. Her Mom and Dad bought her this silly hat. She would not take it off. She loved it. But this is the child that loves hats and will even sleep in them at naptime.
