Easter 2010

We had a great Easter this year. Clark, Lilly & Violet came from Irvine. On Saturday, we took the girls to an egg hunt. They really enjoyed it. Later in the day, we went downtown and went shopping and then went to dinner at Fresco. On Sunday, the Easter bunny brought the girls candy, books and toys. Scott & Lisa came over for a ham dinner. It was a lovely weekend!

Sweet Vi-o-let

Clark, Lilly & Violet visited this weekend. They were life savers. I am sick, and Claron is industriously working on his orals (for TOMORROW!!!). It was great to see them, and Violet is SO big (and absolutely adorable)!

Catch-up: Scott's Awesome Birthday Party

After our Memorial Day BBQ, Scott was hanging out, and we were all playing Dr. Mario (Man, do I love Dr. Mario!). Anyway, Scott mentioned that his birthday was coming up and that he was sure it was going to be super lame. So, I asked him what his ultimate birthday would be like. Surprisingly, he said that he would love to have a party with a bouncy house and a pinata.

The weeks past, and I decided to give Scott his party but to make it a SURPRISE. So, I invited friends, made a menu, ordered the bouncy house, made a cake and picked up the pinata. Lisa and I collaborated to get Scott to our house and man, was he surprised!

The bouncy house was SO MUCH FUN! If you ever see a bouncy house for sale, call me! I think the big kids loved it more than the babies. Beating the pinata was fun, but the adults didn't really want the candy. I made Scott a lemon cake with strawberries, cream cheese filling and a vanilla buttercream icing. He happily decorated his own cake wreck.

It was a great day. Here are the pics:

Catch-up: The Getty

This is a catch up post. We did this earlier in the summer when Claron's dad was visiting.

If you live in LA, around LA or are visiting LA, you MUST visit the J. Paul Getty museum. We have seen the museum from the 405 for years and never stopped in. The tram and the modern buildings are clearly visible from the freeway. This museum is amazing!! I only have two regrets. 1) That I hadn't visited earlier; and 2) That Eliza was not into it. Lilly and I are going to go back together sans children. It is not that the museum is not child friendly, it is that 2 year olds do not dig fine art. She loved the children's museum and the tram though. Anyway, we had a fabulous time. The art is amazing. The architecture is just awesome, and it has breath taking views of the city. Oh, and did I mention that it is FREE?! You have the pay for parking, but big deal!

Maybe we could organize a girlfriend trip?!
