Leila Skye Hamaoui: June 2009

Claremont Day Nursery: Daddies and Donuts---Father's Day Event
Leila took Dada to school on Friday for a special morning just for the kids and their dads. They got to do arts and crafts, play, and eat donuts (yum!)

Leila's 3rd Birthday and Party
We celebrated in style this year, with 9 little girls invited to a very special Pink Princess Party. No detail was overlooked! We had the Princess castle cake (that Mama worked very hard on!), made princess tiaras, and a lovely Ballerina Princess Fairy came to give a puppet show, tell stories, and dance. The whole family was in attendance and it was a crazy weekend (it took Mama a week to recuperate!)

Birthday morning......opening a few presents.

Pretty in pink!

Let the party get started! Here's the "Dress-Up Corner", where the guests could put on the princess or fairy outfit of their choice. I couldn't decide between the pink or purple fairy, so had multiple dress changes during the event.

The magical mushroom house and tunnel that my friends and I got really silly in.

The evening of my birthday, we went to our friends, the Armitages, in Walnut Creek. Here's CJ and Rowan enjoying the jacuzzi.

Memorial Day Weekend (L.A.)
We spent the weekend visiting Auntie Leah, Uncle Greg, my two cousins, and Farfar. Everyone else (Nana, Papa, and Farmor) were all in Europe. Nonetheless, we had a lot of fun, especially when I got to go to the beach in Malibu and go swimming with Farfar in his pool!
