Karaoke

Grandma got Willa a month membership to a place called, Giggles and Hugs- A fun restaurant/play place for kids. They did a karaoke activity last week while we were there, and Willa got right up there and sang ABC's and Twinkle Twinkle. 

Willa at the farmer's market again this Sunday visiting Joe the pig.

She was trying to paint a rainbow on her belly to look like a Care Bare. 

Strawberry Picking, Etc...

We recently discovered Underwood Family Farm. You can go there and pick strawberries and whatever fruits/vegetables are in season. It is so beautiful and pretty close to our house. 

We first went there with our friends, Greg and Sara.

Willa ate about 20 strawberries while picking. We brought lots home and made strawberry shortcake. 

We loved the farm so much that we went back a couple of days later with our friends, Carol and Noemie.

Fun with Willa

First of all, this little lady is officially potty trained! She made it easy on us as it only took 1 day. She had a couple of accidents the first day, but hasn't had any since. YAY!

The petting zoo at the LA zoo. She loves brushing (and kissing) the goats. 

Mommy and Willa went to Menchie's to celebrate her potty training success. She insisted on dressing as a princess for our little ice cream date. 

Our play date with neighbors who have a baby. Willa always wants to hold her and help her nanny give her a bottle. 

Enjoying the good weather out by our pool. Willa always wants to dip her feet in. The pool is still too cold to swim in.

This past weekend we went to a potluck that our friends organized at Lake Balboa Park. 

It was a lot of fun and a beautiful day. My friend Lauren (Charlotte's mom) is a photographer and took a bunch of really good photos from this event.

Willa got her face painted as a cat. I've never seen her sit so still in her life.

Easter Weekend

We had a fun and eventful Easter weekend. On Saturday, we met friends at the Calabasas Easter Egg Hunt.

There was an egg hunt, a petting zoo, the Easter Bunny was there, and there were other fun activities. Willa would not sit on the Easter Bunny's lap (she kept saying she was scared)...but she was definitely intrigued by him and kept wanting to go look at him. 

This photo is titled "Say No to Crack"

These crazy guys were part of the petting zoo

Saturday evening, Aunt Patti came over and we colored Easter eggs!

The Easter Bunny came and hid the eggs, and left easter baskets full of candy and gifts. He even left a trail of cotton balls leading from her bedroom to one of the baskets that was hidden in her tent (Patti's cute idea). 

Willa had so much fun finding the eggs and kept talking about how much she loved the Easter bunny. 

  

Sunday morning we went to an Easter Service at the Hollywood Bowl. It was really cool! The music was beautiful and there were a ton of people there. 

Willa was a really good girl during the service. They had handed out kids packs with crayons, stickers, stamps, and lollipops which kept her busy and happy. 

Sunday evening we hosted an Easter dinner potluck- Our friends Greg and Sara came over with Sara's sister, brother-in-law and 2 year old niece who were visiting from Minnesota. It was a fun night, and we forgot to take pictures. Willa had a great time playing with Amara (the 2 year old niece). 

We hope everyone else had a great Easter too!
