Kai and Daila's first Easter.











So we took it back out to Palm Dessert last weekend to celebrate the babies first Easter. We drove out Thursday night after the babies last bottle and bath and they slept the whole way there. We got there around midnight and were greeted by Sallie (a.k.a. Gigi a.k.a. Grandma). We spent the first night settling into "vacation" mode while Gigi kept a watchful eye on Kai and Daila. It was our first "official" overnight family trip so Billy and I soaked it in, enjoyed a little wine, and relaxed! The house is located on the 4th hole of the Legends PGA West Golf Course and has a beautiful view of the mountains. It's not hard to quickly get into party time there...:)

We stayed in the Casita (the scene of the crime...;)) and Daila and Kai slept soundly right next to us. It was so nice to sleep in Friday morning and not be in a rush, and it seems like the babies sleep better in the dessert than anywhere. So after we all slept in we had a nice, lazy Friday. We waited for Pamela, Steven and Max (Billy's sister, bro-in-law and nephew, and owners of the house) to arrive who had been in Cabo all week. They miraculously made it through LA traffic from LAX to get there in time for a nice family dinner before the eventful weekend started. The babies have gotten so fun and playful in just the last 2 weeks so it was nice for the family to get to spend time with them before the weekend madness began.

On Saturday afternoon Billy and I were able to finally get out and have a little "date" of our own (more on that in the next entry).

Sunday morning we woke and went to the main house which was buzzing with preparation for the guests to arrive. Once the babies were fed I got into a cupcake frosting project with Max and taught him how to frost using a freezer bag. Auntie Pamela gave the babies cute t-shirts from their trip to Cabo and Gigi gave them a cute little singing bunny which the babies were enamoured with. We spent a beautiful Sunday afternoon with family friends; Jen and Joe Fisher and there 4 sons, 3 of whom were the triplets conceived in the casita as well! The rule of the day was "no hanky panky in the casita!". We were also joined by Marisa and Alan from Newport Beach and Alan's brother Gary from Malibu. The neighbor Paula was having guests all day as well, and Kai and Daila kept getting "kidnapped" to go over and be paraded around . We felt it was only right to share the cuteness wealth! Poor babies were so tired at the end of the day. I think they had a wonderful first Easter, the one of course they will have no recollection of, but we'll be able to tell them all about it.
