Another Trip to World of Coke and Lea Shopping

I had a friend/co-worker (Vikrant) come to the states for work. Pete and I took him and another guy from India to World of Coke this past weekend. We had actually planned to go to the aquarium but the line was so long we changed plans. They enjoyed all the samples of Coke but didn't come close to drinking what Pieper drank when he visited (all 64)!!

They were really excited about taking MARTA so instead of driving down there we took the train.

Vikrant works closely with Jessica so she met us down there and brought her family. These are her twins - Peyton and Brady.



Peyton didn't want anything to do with the bear but Peyton was pretty cool with him.





Sunday I went shopping with Lisa and Lea. Only thing Lea wants these days is her independence. Like any other female... she likes to shop! She insisted on carrying a basket - you couldn't put anything in it or she wouldn't be able to carry it!!

Lea's 2nd Birthday!!

Lea turned 2 on May 8th. We waited for the family to come to town before we celebrated. It was a fun party even if the weather wasn't ideal.


Lea is so cute when she does her "CHEESE", she scrunchies up her face and closes her eyes! Also, she is really into balloons. She hardly let go of these balloons all day.

Lea did well with sharing her sandbox.


Since the weather wasn't the best Lisa came up with a fun activity indoors!


CHEEEEEESEEEEEEEE!!


Julia


More cheese and of course the balloons!


There was suppose to be a kiddy pool party but the weather wasn't that great. That didn't stop Lea from enjoying the pool - water or not! You guessed it - Lea was holding her hand out for the balloons.










Lea and Charlie


She loves copying the boys!


The ladies relaxing.


She wasn't good about sharing the balloons. In fact she liked to tease the girls. In the picture above she had handed Sophia the balloons like she was going to give them to her and then pulled them away! Welcome to the terrible 2s Lisa!






Tim - hard at work!


Cake time


The Backyardigans!!




She got a little help blowing out her candles from Jacob and Stella


Cheese!










Last year Lea didn't want to have anything to do with her cake. This year she just dug right in.




She gave up on the fork.


Present time!






I think she was singing Happy Birthday to herself here!


Christina and I


Dad and Pete getting in on the fun!


Lea and Mom


Excited about more presents




She loved her little bear that sings and dances. So much that I don't think it dances anymore.










We went shopping for Christina a wedding dress and I had Lea playing dress up with the fur - don't worry it isn't real!


She has a thing for mannequins. She kept trying to get them to pick her up... "uppy".
