Levi's first birthday

While we were in Virginia this past weekend, we got to celebrate our nephew Levi's first birthday.

The night before the party, we made cake pops.  We had never made these before, but they turned out pretty good for a first try.

The party was on Saturday in a beautiful park.  Many of the trees (all over this area of Virginia) were covered with this purple wisteria.

There was also a beautiful lake

and a playground

Christopher was a good sport playing with the girls on the playground. Actually, we all had fun playing.

Because it was so close to Easter, we even got to have an Easter Egg hunt.

Madison made a friend, and they had a great time playing with all of the caterpillars at the park.  That night when I was putting her to bed, Maddie asked "Where do you think all of those crawltapillers came from?"

Happy Birthday Levi!  So glad we got to celebrate with you.
