Easter Weekend & celebrating Papi's B-Day!

We had a wonderful time on Saturday, dying Easter Eggs. Miriam joined us...Katy had to work so boo hoo that she and Samantha couldn't join us...:( But we had a great time.





Then went to McCambrigde Park so that the kids could have some "FUN".




Then on Sunday we celebrated Easter and my Papi's 76th Birthday! We started out with our annual Easter Egg Hunt for the kids they had a BLAST.




I asked Toni to take a few pictures of my beautiful niece Vicky who's now 5 1/2 months pregnant...here are just a few of them.



And then we had an awesome dinner. Marissa made her awesome "Fish Tacos" with her secret sauce and Phil and I also made our delicious beef tacos that we're told are pretty delicious as well. All in all we had such a wonderful time with family and friends.

Went to Descanso Gardens!

Toni, Marissa and I went to Descanso Gardens in La Cresenta last Sunday and we had the best time. The weather was a bit cold in the am and we actually thought it was going to rain...but it got warmer by noon...Thank goodness. We had to take photos for our photography class project. It was so beautiful there! It had been a very long time since I was there last which was with my dear friend Lynn who is not with us anymore. I guess that's why I hadn't been back there because I just wasn't ready and I didn't know how it was going to affect me. Just walking around this beautiful place brought back so many wonderful memories of Lynn and it made me happy. I really want to go back again soon so that I can take pictures of Phil and the kids and get better pix of Toni as well. I'm getting so excited because I'm finally understanding how to use my awesome camera and I can totally tell the difference in my pictures since we've started taking the class. Anyway, I had a blast with Toni and Marissa and I was just so happy to spend a couple of hours with my Foxy Friends. Here are some of the photographs that I took.
