Easter and Amelia's Birthday

Easter morning we hosted a brunch for our parents, Ryan's sister, Kristen, and a friend of mine from work, Erika. It was a great meal with friends and family.


After brunch we celebrated Amelia's birthday. She was thrilled with the scooter that Grandma and Grandpa West got her. She still rides it all around the house. Auntie Kristen got her some various dress-up pieces that Micah took advantage of while Amelia was busy riding her "cooter."
The next week, Grandma and Grandpa Brody took her to Build-a-Bear. This is a tradition they have with the grandkids when they turn 4 (Amelia got in early). She chose a Lamb and dressed her up in a ballerina outfit complete with undies and a baby lamb. She named the lamb "Lamby" and I jokingly told her she could name the baby lamb "Veal." Unfortunately, the name stuck. She sleeps with Lamby and Veal every night. Last night she was using lamby as a pillow.
After Build-a-Bear we went out to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. The waitress had a group of them sing and gave her an ice-cream sundae.
