He was super excited about being in class with several of his friends and classmates from Kindergarten and I was very excited about his teacher Mrs. Gahan. I have heard wonderful things about her.

We had such a fun weekend! Meredith had her first dance class on Saturday morning. I have been waiting to enroll her in dance from the moment I found out I was having a little girl. She looked absolutely adorable in her pink leotard, pink tights and ballet slippers! I'm so glad she had fun at class. She came home and showed her Daddy and Jonah everything she learned.<br />

On Saturday afternoon we had Meredith's belated Princess Birthday party. Her birthday is on April 2nd but we had something going on every weekend up until now so I made sure we reserved this weekend to celebrate her special day. All of the girls came dressed up in their favorite Princess attire and we had yummy desserts from my favorite bakery, The Layered Bake Shop, in downtown McKinney. Then the girls took a ride on a real Cinderella carriage. Everyone loved riding around the neighborhood giving the princess wave to all the neighbors that came outside to see the horse drawn carriage.<br />

<br />
On Sunday we celebrated Father's Day with the best dad ever, Josh. The kids and I made him breakfast, he went to the gym and spent the rest of the day playing with Jonah and Meredith. I could not ask for a better father for my children. We are all so lucky to have him in our life.<br />
<br />
I also have to give a special shout out to my own dad who I love very much. I am also lucky to have such a wonderful father in law, Edd. The kids really love their Papa and Opa and always have fun when they spend time with them!<br />

I am glad that my son has an opinion on what he likes to wear and doesn't mind going shopping with me. That night Josh grilled steaks that I picked up at Whole Foods and I made roasted asparagus with Parmesan cheese. I bought this Malbec at Target and after one glass it kind of grew on me but not sure that I would buy it again. I prefer more spicy red wines. After her bath, Meredith asked me to braid her hair so I decided to put several braids in and let her sleep in them so it would be wavy the next day. It turned out so cute and she loved it! </div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><br /></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><img style="text-align: center;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6TY1hpSCTz355RRfpOz3A5tr_My-uGhllcSBCe1NRVB6Dmd9FOubJK45ZuI8R_QBET43bKUQcZApwkkhcmWqnMTR2Vk-V9fVyvmoLQtzigirg5AKkwHO3Upoqw7_rvSnxoaTy/s400/WINE.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721647641350314226" /></div><div style="text-align: center;font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEithpO6yNi_GTNUBOaBwt9lIwlzxqh5CPZqlYZm7N6aAjHnzX3ByuleFmEpRRLaz-NhSqkaXlSL9hzJkCFXxM8mnHoJr2_qBVXZB2hIx4awFtFJKdLs1SLqcISvqvubxfCASM-k/s400/steak.jpg" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA6OyzAOG4DOc40UC5uqPJevAbJ4gPwEgcg_OPnuReXooL_4v_uM7YiBAemX67sHTie2EkByC9asnPFHN4HW8k-o60VL6d8YSU3GRZvicNenJYS-OQX5c8nExQc2GQ4znplOVM/s400/braids.jpg" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; ">On Saturday morning when the kids woke up they found a note and a few surprises from the Lucky Leprechaun.

Well, I finally went to the doctor and I had pneumonia. Ugh! So he loaded me up on steroids, antibiotics and breathing treatments. Oh, and he told me to get lots of rest. Hmmm…okay. That wasn’t going to happen. Josh went out of town Thursday morning to a Delt Division Conference in Tennessee so that meant it was me, the two kids and the pesky pneumonia that kept me cooped up all weekend. While my kids did a great job being my helpful little nurses, on Saturday they were dying to get out and run around so I mustered up the energy to drive them to Adventure Kids to play for a few hours while I came back home and slept some more. </p> <p>Yesterday I started feeling a little better but not a 100% so my sweet friend Jennifer took Jonah to his first baseball practice of the season and Meredith and I took a long nap. </p> <p>Unfortunately when you are sick the house doesn’t clean itself, the laundry doesn’t wash itself and the kids are still too young to fend for themselves for food. Of course if they had it their way Jonah would eat his weight in cheese sticks and Yogurt and Meredith would live on Goldfish and Hershey Hugs. I can’t lie and say they didn’t eat quite a bit of that over this past weekend. Maybe even pizza a few times. But I lost count. I’ll make it up this week with healthier food, I promise! </p> <p>While I was laying in my bed on Saturday, the kids were playing around in our bedroom and in the closet. I hear Meredith’s sweet little voice yell from my closet “Mommy, is this your Princess dress?” I got up and walked into the closet where she had stumbled upon my wedding dress. I said “Yes, that the dress I wore when I married Daddy!” She looked at it with the biggest smile on her face and said “I want to wear it!” So, I put it on her and she immediately went to my jewelry box and found my mom’s pearl necklace. While she was sitting in the floor in awe of her white princess gown, I grabbed my camera off the table and snapped a couple of pictures. Even when I am sick my camera is never too far away! I really love this picture! I can’t wait to show this to her when she is older and even on her wedding day! </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-rWTMYEqiEzc/T0uwYJiHzuI/AAAAAAAAGCw/DsqgbYNEWmg/s1600-h/IMG_3586playing%252520dress%252520up%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3586playing dress up" border="0" alt="IMG_3586playing dress up" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-0DvIpL4xpOU/T0uwYukLGEI/AAAAAAAAGC4/wxwVkHquk_o/IMG_3586playing%252520dress%252520up_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="371" height="557" /></a></p> <p>As I was taking the picture, Jonah said, “That’s what you wore on the day you married Daddy?” I said “Yes!” and his response was “That’s just weird!” Gotta love the boys!</p> <p align="center">XO,</p> <p align="center">Monda</p> The Daily Strollhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08857104633857981440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28669915.post-52589340056857594802012-02-20T19:11:00.000-06:002012-02-24T19:35:29.049-06:00Weekend Happenings<p>Now that the surprise is over I can blog about our fun trip down to Austin this past weekend to celebrate one of Josh’s good friend and fraternity brother’s 40th birthday. His wife planned for all of his friends to surprise him and have dinner. It was such a fun night! We started out having drinks at the Omni hotel and then headed downtown for dinner at Eddie V’s. Great food with great friends! After dinner we went to 5th Street and had drinks (lots of drinks) at Beso Cantina. On the ride back to the hotel, I left my iPhone in the cab but my sweet husband surprised me with a new 4S when we got back home. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://www.eddiev.com/">Eddie V’s</a> </p> <p><img src="http://deliciousmischief.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/eddie-v.jpg?w=610" /></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://www.besocantina.com/">Beso Cantina</a></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-SrAMks8rTIA/T0g6hUzBxWI/AAAAAAAAGCg/gxpekqwVnAc/s1600-h/Beso%252520Cantina%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Beso Cantina" border="0" alt="Beso Cantina" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnrecn8Ml2meMARgXSqt3f52Uhah7Q_NA-hzypKXEoijuOgixv76WDCfVt4GYJ6Syarq1-6lgvpskhIFANIngn2hokr0dMBGLTMkUCqTrdVDHrdhlf102F2nOiLNBMsAzJbSGM/?imgmax=800" width="458" height="278" /></a></p> <p align="center">Me and my friend Sarah ( I think it’s time to have my hair done!! haha)</p> <p><img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/423878_3350800177879_1505101456_3015949_1890663579_n.jpg" width="447" height="437" /></p> <p align="center">Me and the hubs</p> <p><img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/p480x480/431417_10150590236604823_708499822_9271906_1437569151_n.jpg" width="460" height="262" /></p> <p align="center">The Guys – Josh, Kyle, Jeff, Doug and Johnny</p> <p><img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/395253_3205952224398_1133911282_3167670_89213173_n.jpg" width="463" height="354" /></p> <p>The kids had a blast staying with Amy, Jon, Kayla and Christian and even had a special visit from Opa who drove up from San Antonio. </p> <p>It was a fun but quick trip. </p> <p>Today, I started feeling really yucky.

On Friday, we had Meredith’s Valentine’s Day party at School and then  Jonah’s Valentine’s Day dance that night. On Tuesday we had Jonah’s Valentine’s Day party at school. On Saturday we received a Valentine’s Day package from Grandma filled with goodies! </p> <p>That night we started a new Schneider tradition. Instead of fighting the crowds at a restaurant we decided to have dinner at home. I set out the china, Meredith decorated the table and Jonah made chocolate covered strawberries and pretzels. I picked up a bottle of wine and a bottle of pink champagne. We lit candles and enjoyed lobster ravioli, Caprese salad, calamari and garlic bread. The kids had pizza. They really enjoyed drinking their juice and milk from the wine glasses. </p> <p>After dinner Jonah told me we had to have our “fancy” dinner every Valentine’s Day! I agree! I love starting new traditions! </p> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px"

Happenings<div style="text-align: left;">Last week seemed to go by extremely slow so when the weekend finally came around, I was looking forward to some fun and time with my husband and family</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Friday afternoon Jonah decided to go on a mission to feed the birds in our front yard. He grabbed a loaf of bread and sprinkled pieces all over the sidewalk. Our sweet neighbor, Colleen, across the street saw him and brought over a bag of birdseed to give to him. He was so excited. He sprinkled it all over the driveway and the walkway up to our house. He came inside and was</div><div style="text-align: left;"> ecstatic when he saw the first bird land the others that followed to enjoy the treat he left for them.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Then the proud mom moment came. He walked over to my desk, took one of his thank you cards out of the drawer, grabbed his marked and sat down at the kitchen table to write Colleen a thank you card. He added a few Star Wars stickers to the note and then asked me if he could run across the street to hand deliver it to her. Very proud of my sweet boy! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIDPMWTZ6dES4NIs_KjJQtRyrNtnTE7hxRDh4V3kbKZqzoI9RLLsiA0JRK1-dhlu4jmAyXNmUS7jnwOoR_cBDREGbMuOSMnkZvPyIa0LE_AiyWh7UveX6StD8gCJ4pjOqelh0_/s400/IMG_2942.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703471084967860466" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline; display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px; " /></div><div>On Saturday I took Meredith to her friend Tatum's birthday party at Build-A-Bear. She had a lot of fun building her bear and then pushing her in a stroller through the mall with her friends. After the party I took her on the carousel a few times before heading home.</div><div><br /></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig9XSZWj9aIS_7IxsoQHzWz1Uig2AMelI5FLs-bzRtEfus9a94JBQFlEQFalQB_eXPWF5R1WROJkFhepLP83ukhNJ9waOpE7gzFHzpvVafhRPMMYFhvYmpmESTsiqzEWXdCqpM/s400/424772_10150737240101982_694411981_12433273_1308108670_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703472516171428306" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOvAph_I_UoRv2ODQBQlkjteQWQS7qO8arqgfSrH6s_EAyJs4aTxvKUZ3_GgdG58P9JM5AYld3nY36KtzxcT9Hqq3yukdK-rHNIy-afW2MhnoJa7I0Yo-qHIrsxrm2IC0Ju6c-/s400/406496_10150737336161982_228820525_n.jpg" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Saturday night we were invited to dinner with friends we met through Jonah and Meredith's school. Jonah and their son went to private preschool together and we have become friends over the last couple of years. We had such a great time and it was nice to have an adult night out. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Our first stop was at <a href="http://www.landonwinery.com/">Landon Winery</a> in downtown McKinney. We had their 5 Barrel Blend and it was fabulous. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.texasandwine.com/images/texas-wineries/landon/landon-winery.jpg" alt="Landon Winery Patio" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp7ay7RnzFlyfOHh6DKt7xy6FdfVGFRNnUQcriqFFwVTpu6v79v5j1F-pLTforuk1MYMff_52Nau-Jx3e3x6YX2jmsAg8D9oviDAzKC2eMYybM7dbD19axorS0qKF6yT305wdP/s400/Landon+Winery.jpg" /> </div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div><div style="text-align: left;">Afterwards we stopped by the <a href="http://mckinneywine.com/">McKinney Wine Merchant</a> and picked up a couple more bottles of wine for dinner since our restaurant was BYOB. The shop was so cute and they had so many unique wines that I had never even heard of. I am looking forward to going back and spending more time exploring! I also found out they also have door to door delivery. Um, how awesome is that? </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">We picked up a Shiraz and then this Grenache. I had never had Grenache before so I was looking forward to trying it out and I will say the flavor was fabulous. Smooth but with hints of spicy fruit and at $20 a bottle a steal. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://mckinneywine.com/images/2gehrs.jpg" alt="Daniel Gehrs Grenache 2007, Santa Ynez Valley CA - Click Image to Close" /> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Next up, we headed across the street for dinner at <a href="http://www.gregorysbistro.org/">Gregory's Bistro </a>(the same place I had one of my birthday dinners). We ordered the steamed mussels which were served in a Chipotle butter sauce and it was heavenly. We also had the cheese plate which is one of my favorites. For dinner, I had the chef's special which was pan seared scallops served with lobster mashed potatoes. Josh had the Chilean sea bass with lobster risotto and asparagus. Their food is so good you want to savor every bite! For dessert Josh had the chocolate creme brulee and I had the champagne with fresh strawberries. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">It was such a fun night! Good conversation, Good food and wine and Good friends!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">On Sunday Josh met one of his friends for lunch at North Park and surprised me with these from <a href="http://www.toryburch.com/PATENT-EDDIE-BALLET-FLAT/50008656,default,pd.html?dwvar_50008656_size=5&dwvar_50008656_color=001&start=46&cgid=shoes-flats">Tory Burch</a> when he came home! He knows and appreciates my TB obsession.

After coming home from ice skating, we had a fabulous dinner with Opa and Oma but then I started feeling really bad and suddenly got a migraine so we hung out and watched movies but I felt so bad I finally had to go lay down. So I didn’t see the ball drop this year! Boo! </p> <p>But today, I felt much better so Susan (Oma) and I drank several mimosas and after lunch we moved on to pomegranate and champagne. We snacked on dips and relaxed inside by the fire! It was the perfect way to kick off a New Year!! </p>The Daily Strollhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08857104633857981440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28669915.post-3793058721381621772011-12-31T17:52:00.000-06:002012-01-12T11:55:24.005-06:00Ice Skating<p>My friend Jennifer and I took the boys to lunch and then ice skating this afternoon. Let’s just say that they were all much better than me! It’s been several years since I ice skated. I basically held onto the railing the entire time and Jonah kept trying to make me let go. The only problem was every time I did, I fell. </p> <p>But it was still fun and I can’t wait to try it again soon.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-L9SxkInG00w/Tw8ehTrY7HI/AAAAAAAAFhI/I_3sMLYXJkg/s1600-h/ice%252520skating%2525201%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="ice skating 1" border="0" alt="ice skating 1" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-494kS4oMdHM/Tw8ehqiTotI/AAAAAAAAFhQ/lrnaWyWchm0/ice%252520skating%2525201_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="296" height="411" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4NtPVkpiLY3hYYcLegiZ0bi98RNn1LNzhsh9m88KSv0p2RqCt9i9cXS9TwlodlzctFuYlAE-3Ie-maXLvzYgW5sSUGhDOfC26hdrh9c1eujT_mtDXVXhb3aw9fg88vlH75LBe/s1600-h/ice%252520skating%2525202%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="ice skating 2" border="0" alt="ice skating 2" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-mFkkaoUpXlA/Tw8eijvxsdI/AAAAAAAAFhg/9iBiDu0Qd24/ice%252520skating%2525202_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="296" height="409" /></a></p> The Daily Strollhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08857104633857981440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28669915.post-77875508066529641962011-12-30T23:55:00.000-06:002012-01-12T12:00:31.806-06:00Build A Bear<p>We went to Build A Bear today. Jonah made an Alvin the Chipmunk and Meredith made a Monkey. Doesn’t Meredith look so happy and cute in this picture? Well, this picture was taken right before Meredith had the Mother of all meltdowns in the middle of the mall when she realized we were going to lunch and not on the carousel. After a good thirty minutes of  trying to calm her down it was obvious neither of us were winning the battle and we ended up going home. I didn’t get CPK for lunch and she didn’t get to ride on the carousel. Of course I’m not sure if she is going to be allowed back in the mall anytime soon! Ha! </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-ua2tEy37Rd8/Tw8fvE1I9BI/AAAAAAAAFho/hWwEh1l40DY/s1600-h/Build%252520A%252520Bear%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Build A Bear" border="0" alt="Build A Bear" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-EVbQffcpy9k/Tw8fvhEGPHI/AAAAAAAAFhw/Z4UmgZjuQcU/Build%252520A%252520Bear_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="446" height="347" /></a></p> The Daily Strollhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08857104633857981440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28669915.post-50911711978994070242011-12-26T20:07:00.000-06:002012-01-12T12:07:50.153-06:00Meredith’s Mini Me<p>Josh and I bought Meredith her first American Girl doll for Christmas this year. She was ecstatic that Kit looked just like her with blonde hair, blue eyes and a splash of freckles across her nose. She also received an AG doll bed, clothes, and Coconut the Dog (which happens to look just like Riley). And of course they had to have matching PJ’s. Yikes, I have suddenly immersed myself into the American Girl cult. This is going to be bad!</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqfZx8LnPmnAOtv7FRI14CCPB7Ao_3aB2Ndysn4l6JWQBf5RTrlq8AR7h0kPrvQBZZQz8DUB6al7hcZF-gKGXfjNb2yIQ124Axk5ccm2Z0atXVOOo4_cdQGoEk0wsh-xvO9o9Z/s1600-h/AG%252520doll%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="AG doll" border="0" alt="AG doll" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-AnGvKYfP-k4/Tw8hdPlUFbI/AAAAAAAAFiA/6D5DJUsTFLw/AG%252520doll_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="316" height="426" /></a></p> The Daily Strollhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08857104633857981440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28669915.post-80836328414114621702011-12-26T12:14:00.000-06:002012-01-12T12:15:39.647-06:00Zombie Lab<p>Santa brought Jonah a Zombie Lab so we decided to try to make the bubbling brains today.

I mean I love pictures and I love capturing all those special memories but sometimes you just have to sit the camera down and be in the moment and then save those mental pictures in your head and that’s what I did on Christmas this year so I only have a couple of pictures to share but we had a blast waking the kids up, running downstairs to see what surprises Santa had left for everyone. After playing with all the new gadgets and toys, we had our traditional breakfast, hot chocolate and then got dressed to drive to Josh’s grandmother’s house where we enjoyed an evening with family eating a wonderful Christmas dinner and opening presents. It was a great day and I’m glad I took a moment to enjoy it. </p> <p>I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with their family and friends. </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/--bP1JR1Q534/Tw8laAtWf1I/AAAAAAAAFiY/Nv7EP9IE_Vs/s1600-h/IMG_2743%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;

They also brought out a strawberry cake that was to die for! It was so good.

Something I had been craving! </p> <p>It was a fabulous week and I am thinking I should turn 35 every year! </p> The Daily Strollhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08857104633857981440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28669915.post-20795376653480328392011-12-19T16:17:00.000-06:002012-01-12T13:18:01.640-06:00Christmas Party<p>I co-hosted a Christmas Party today with my best friend Shannon at her house. It was a lot of fun. For the kids we had a hot chocolate bar, smores station and Christmas games. For the parents we had snacks and pomegranate champagne with the glasses dipped in green sprinkles to add a little Christmas cheer.  </p> <p>But the real surprise was a visit from the Big Man himself – Santa Claus. He read Twas the Night before Christmas to the kids and then each of them sat on his lap to tell him what they wanted for Christmas. </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAOSy9aITPTFVRlyVTJT99-u9j6H3OcS__7x-759uurCEY24HI1z-YpUFV_XHY_xHMM5iwABkP_5OCgHH5UByriae2fx8t5nbvBk-iCoy0-Z3CULM9HMGChCmr-fj4Ann-uql3/s1600-h/IMG_2519%252520copy%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2519 copy" border="0" alt="IMG_2519 copy" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-kT38XFgIysQ/Tw8x2qD6_tI/AAAAAAAAFmY/cYUORhwcC2g/IMG_2519%252520copy_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="295" height="451" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-HHDBeqfQgK4/Tw8x3TWepcI/AAAAAAAAFmg/OGbMG4QmIRI/s1600-h/IMG_2441%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2441" border="0" alt="IMG_2441" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-bFBdzZdT1Kg/Tw8x3krrkbI/AAAAAAAAFmo/kG7hqFwb4TI/IMG_2441_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="426" height="296" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-pqj0oyrlgzQ/Tw8x4fSLqpI/AAAAAAAAFmw/1DVlWqNzjQw/s1600-h/IMG_2429%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2429" border="0" alt="IMG_2429" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-AEr_xDdAP7Q/Tw8x4ruoFYI/AAAAAAAAFm4/1jrx1I-WNqQ/IMG_2429_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="432" height="300" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Xs5oBdmKfhI/Tw8x5jmz3LI/AAAAAAAAFnA/lZmdkg8PecY/s1600-h/IMG_2559%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2559" border="0" alt="IMG_2559" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-QdeM3WbvP8g/Tw8x5zEB39I/AAAAAAAAFnI/gwJHOncD2As/IMG_2559_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="435" height="302" /></a></p> The Daily Strollhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08857104633857981440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28669915.post-64070866604047204632011-12-18T13:20:00.000-06:002012-01-30T13:23:59.646-06:00Gingerbread House<p>Jonah and Meredith both received Gingerbread Houses from their Elf Nose but Meredith did not want to build hers but Jonah did so today we sat down to build it and Jonah finally got so frustrated with the sides not sticking together he said, “Mom, let’s just eat it.” So, that’s exactly what we did. </p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-sVcfRr1d9Lo/TybuRDc2-AI/AAAAAAAAF5w/j77GlISRvVA/s1600-h/IMG_2061%252520copy%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2061 copy" border="0" alt="IMG_2061 copy" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-jq3YOWKs9Xo/TybuSiGD5iI/AAAAAAAAF54/WxDVgcjB0vM/IMG_2061%252520copy_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="276" height="430" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-YbvoDXRjskQ/TybuTGURyAI/AAAAAAAAF6A/iH5O7ZCJJvw/s1600-h/IMG_2076%252520copy%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2076 copy" border="0" alt="IMG_2076 copy" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-4dTfwb4_LBQ/TybuTiZJUOI/AAAAAAAAF6I/xdS-5TCKpDQ/IMG_2076%252520copy_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="278" height="420" /></a></p> The Daily Strollhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08857104633857981440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28669915.post-23909079632041470582011-12-16T16:29:00.000-06:002012-01-30T13:30:01.366-06:00Jonah’s Polar Express School Party<p>Today Jonah wore his PJ’s to school, watched the Polar Express and then had his classroom party.
