Gabby's first Easter

Gabby's first Easter was quite the day! Aunt Brooke and Lucas came in town to spend Easter weekend with us in St. Louis. We all four came downstairs with Gabby to see what the Easter bunny had left for her. We found a huge basket of 14 outfits and a book from Grandma Judy and Uncle Rob, a giant stuffed bunny from Grandma Monica and Grandpa Juan, a very large basket from Aunt Brooke and Lucas with pajamas and snacks, and of course the Easter bunny's basket full of toys, pajamas, and other things. After going through all her baskets, which felt like Christmas by the way, we hunted for money filled eggs that were all over from the front yard to inside to the backyard. I'd say she had a great Easter if you ask me. We literally went all over St. Louis for eating and walking around. Easter morning, we had a very elegant brunch at the Missouri Botanical Gardens followed by a long walk around the Gardens and even some play time at the kid center. Needless to say, Aunt Book had to climb the logs and ropes and run to the top of the fort! That's why she is the best aunt ever though! Gabby will have a big sister in her "Aunt Book". After leaving the gardens and feeling exhausted from the food, the walking and even the kiddie play area, we found ourselves at Park Avenue Coffee having a latte and gooey butter cake on the back patio. BTW, this place has been featured on Food Network. It is quite amazing! After getting home from all the Easter excitement, it was time for Aunt Book and Luke to head back to Chicago. :( They left for Chi, and the three of us decided to take ourselves a well needed nap which was followed by a stroll around the neighborhood and a visit to the neighborhood park where Gabby got to swing! :) Looking forward to many more first holidays with our Princess!
