Click the photo above to see all the photos from the last 2 days. The first photo is Nadia’s ‘rebel without a cause’ pose.

Michelle flew in from London (by way of San Francisco) at midnight on Sunday. She went right to sleep once we got home and Monday morning we were just relaxing and she got in some Nadia time. After Nadia’s nap we headed to Rosa’s for Mexican food as she was having a major craving being out of the states for 2.5 months!! Then we stopped by Kohl’s to get Nadia some jammies ($3 a pair on clearance!) and to Target for cupcake supplies. (I have a cupcake and muffin cookbook and I try to bake a new flavor when we have company. Michelle picked out 2 for us to try this week) By then Michelle thought she was going to melt since it was about 105 out. So we headed home for the rest of the evening. Here is a shot of the Chocolate Banana Split Cupcakes. They are so rich and delicious. The other photo was the pecan pie from lunch (with nice sizzle action). YUM!

Tuesday we got up and met Laura for lunch at La Hacienda so that Michelle could have Mexican food again. She took Nadia all around the place to look at all the stuffed animals and Nadia liked the moose the best. Then they sat on the saddle bar stools and our waiter gave Nadia 2 quarters to ride the horse and train outside. He was very taken with Nadia and told Michelle that she was so advanced for her age. After Nadia had a nap we headed over to get pedicures and she was so cute. She sat on Michelle’s lap the entire time watching everything that was going on. We headed home after that and I made the famous Mac and Cheese at Michelle’s request. After dinner Nadia put on a dance show for us 🙂
