Sunday Dinner

Did I mention what a great cook my husband is? Tonight, he served up his famous enchiladas and we invited my parents (Nana and Nani) over. Jaidan gets so giddy and excited when we all get together!



Birthday Party Double Header

Jaidan had his fill of cake these last few days. Two of his pals celebrated their birthdays this weekend. What a great weekend for parties, we enjoyed beautiful weather with highs in the 70's. First, Alex had us over for his fire-engine themed bash - a fun filled morning with sidewalk chalk drawing, and playing outside. Then, on Sunday, we celebrated Jaidan's friend Karis' birthday at Palaestra, an indoor gym. The kids enjoyed bouncing, tumbling, parachutes and a special visit from Minnie Mouse!

Happy 3rd birthday to Alex and happy 2nd birthday Karis!! We had so much fun celebrating with you!

How does this child manage to find cars wherever we go?

Alex is so excited to open presents!

Second party of the weekend - Karis with Minnie Mouse!

How cute is she in her Minnie Mouse dots?!

Don't mind me, I'm just eating my cake!

Jaidan's lunch


Daddy (aka Jaidan's personal chef) once in awhile whips up Jaidan's lunch. This week's menu? Roasted Red Pepper hummus and cream cheese pinwheels, peanut butter crackers, and cubed canteloupe, which Manish diced himself (unlike Mommy, who buys the pre-cut version at the grocery store.)

Pajama Party

We had so much fun this morning at our "Pancakes, Pajamas and Piggies" party for our MOPS playdate! Esther hosted the soiree and we enjoyed yummy breakfast foods while the kiddos played. It was so nice relaxing in our PJ's - this is my kind of party!



Jaidan headed straight for the - you guessed it - CARS! I seriously sometimes wonder if he is going to be an auto mechanic when he grows up...

Playdating

Jaidan had a fun week of friends at the house. The week started with a visit from my friend Davina and her twin boys Shaan and Milan. And today, Trinh, her little ones Ellie and Finley, Celena and her girls Sofia and Bella dropped by. Jaidan loved having company over. We are lucky that our neighborhood happens to be home to many children that are right around Jaidan's age!

Aren't they cute?
