Jaden Birthday Party Invitation

Jaden's 2nd birthday party will be on Sunday March 8th, and 3:30pm. I have sent out invitations, but I am worried I may have missed some people.

Please RSVP to me at 503-422-0677 if you will be attending and I will give you the party location.

Birthday party pictures will be on the blog soon after the party.

Carnival Cruise

I bought Jeff a 3 day cruise to Mexico for Christmas. We went on the trip this past weekend. Jaden stayed with Nana and Papa McDaniel. This was my first cruise and Jeff's second. It was beautiful weather all the days. We really enjoyed ourselves. We had forgotten what life was like without a child. You can eat, sleep, and drink whenever you want. We ate a lot, gambled, watched some lives shows, entered a mini golf tournament (we placed second), and I even enjoyed a pedicure in the spa (thanks mom).

This was the boat. Carnival Elation. Had about 2400 people on it. We ported out of San Diego.

Jeff and I at the pool side bar at about 930 in the morning. (note, I am a sweatsuit because I just left the spa, not due to weather, average temp of about 80 where we were)

Jeff at the casino (no response on how much won or lost)

This is one of the folding towels made into an animal, elephant, that was on our bed each night. Kinda cheesy, but I thought it was cute, and since this is my blog, its on here.

Jeff and I at formal dinner. I believe this was all you can eat lobster dinner night too. There definitely was not a lack of food on this trip.

Jeff on the boat at the San Diego port. It was a fun trip. We will do it again.

SuperBowl

We had our annual Super Bowl at the house. It was nice to see all of our friends. Just a couple pictures for this event.

Jeff and I

The gang. (well some of them)

These cupcakes were amazing. Kathina hand-made the hamburgers and hot dogs from candy.

All in all, good friends, good food, good time had by all. Including our dog, Bentley

Playhouse Disney Live

I have been kind of lazy with the posting on this blog, I do apologize. We have had a very busy couple of months. Here you go, fun times at the McDaniel house.

Jaden loves the Disney Chanel. She watches it almost every morning. She especially loves Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh and Little Einsteins. At the end of January I took her to go see it LIVE. My friend Kristy and her son Deacon (he and Jaden are five days apart) came with us as well.

We had amazing seats. Third row, center on the floor. Jaden danced with all the other little kids to her favorite songs.

I, of course, had to buy her a souvenier. This is light up batton. She still plays with it today.

Jaden and her little friend Deacon. These two have been friends since birth. (long time, I know...)
