Saturday, July 16th was our favorite (and only) niece, Julia's 3rd birthday! So to celebrate the occasion and honor little miss Julia, we had a weekend of fun and excitement. On Friday the 15th, we attended her birthday party at Chesapeake Beach Waterpark in Calvert County, MD. We spent the day playing in the many pools and spinkler areas offered and going down some of their cool little slides. Alex's favorite thing by far was the pirate ship slide which he did over and over and Miss Amaya, who happened to be cutting 2 teeth and fighting a cold at the time, seemed to like the little sprinklers, despite being pretty fussy--poor thing! We ate some delicious pizza and had snow balls for dessert and had a really good time! Then on Sunday, since we didn't do presents and cake at the waterpark, we celebrated Julia again at Lola's house with some traditional pansit, a tinkerbell cake and princess cupcakes and presents of course! Julia got a lot of nice, girly things. We got her some cute outfits, Pj's, and some princess Ariel bath toys to play with. We were so happy to be part of Julia's celebration because like all of our nieces and nephews she is so special to us. I happened to be one of the first people to meet her (aside from her parents of course!) since Lola and I stayed late into the night at the hospitalwhen she arrived near 11 PM and I still remember being so excited when David came down from the delivery room and told us they had a little girl. She is just so darn cute and girly and loves dancing around and singing. I am so glad Amaya has a female cousin to play with, since I (after 8 male cousins on both sides!) certainly didn't get that luxury. Happy 3rd birthday Julia--may you celebrate many more happy birthdays with our family!
