Behind the Iron Curtain- Day 1

This last weekend we went to Prague; which has quickly become my favorite European city. We were lucky and the weather was great the whole weekend. This is just the first day, I will post more pictures of the rest of the trip tomorrow. 

Breakfast at our hotel, Gabi was so excited that they had eggs!

 Both of these pictures are in the Prague castle

Gabriella was so happy the entire trip.

Creepy

Can you believe it, she actually fell asleep in her stroller?!

Gabriella loved the clock with "puppets" she kept saying "more".

On the Charles Bridge

The best part of the trip was the food! We enjoyed lots of American food and Czech food. I think we were all happy to find some good barbecue and it tasted soo good! 

Crazy Girl

Gabriella decided she wanted to be a model today and I took full advantage of it! Here are a few of the best pictures we took:

She picked out all these hair bows herself and insisted that I put all of them in her hair. This is her new"smile" it cracks me up!

Cute face

What a ham, she is growing up way too fast, I can't keep up with her. I'm glad she decided it was time to be a model for the camera again because it's just in time for our trip, we leave for Prague tomorrow!

Updates

It's been awhile since I've posted anything. As you can tell by the picture above, it has been very cold in Grenoble since we've been back. In fact it's been so cold that Gabriella actually asks for her hat and gloves as we are leaving the house. Lol, and that's saying a lot if she's wants a hat! Gabriella is doing well, she's growing up too fast. She's been so sick lately, so she's had a rough few weeks. But hopefully she'll start feeling better soon. She has become such a kid since we've gotten back to Grenoble. She talks in sentences now and even likes to pick out her own clothes in the mornings. Here are a few of her favorite things right now:

• Cooking, she has to help with every meal
• Playing with her friends
• Picking out her clothes and hair bows in the mornings
• Going for walks with out her stroller
• Kittens
• Dogs
• Going shopping and trying on jewelry or shoes

Trevor is back to the grind with school again. It was a slow start after Christmas break, but this program never lets us down and he is back to being crazy busy. He is enjoying it and trying to keep up with us and school. We just planned a trip to Prague and we leave this Friday. Which will be really fun except that it's supposed to be really cold! I guess we didn't plan that very well.

I'm doing well too, my laptop crashed a few weeks ago. So we invested in a new one, in the picture above Gabriella is trying to sneak her fingers on the keyboard since we've told her she can't push buttons on this one. Lol, she's such a toddler. 

Little Traveler

Gabriella has become quite the little traveler lately. Since we traveled home, she can't stop pulling her Dora suitcase everywhere she goes.

 Not only does she need her suitcase, you can't leave the house without her backpack and purse! I think I'm in big trouble as this little girl grows up.

 We took a quick day trip to Lyon over the weekend. It was such a nice day and so nice to have a mini getaway. Despite the fact that Gabriella didn't sleep all day, she was really good.

 We went to a puppet show while we were there.

As you can tell, Gabriella loved the puppet show and the trip!! We are enjoying being back although we are missing our friends and family like crazy. The weather has been great here the sun has acutally been shining every day this week. So we've been enjoying the parks again. Gabriella is talking like crazy now in French and English. Her favorite word right now is yeah, she says it all the time. Lol and of course she still says bon bon any chance she can!

Christmas Break

As you can tell from Gabriella's face below, we were all so happy to be home for Christmas!

Here are a few highlights from our trip.

 Temple Square, brr is was so cold that night.

 Popsicles and presents!!

 Christmas Eve jammies!!

We had so much fun over Christmas, it was so nice to be home!!

Snowy Day

Last week I was feeling pretty good as I read everyone else blogs about snow because it was still pretty warm here and we didn't have any snow. Well, I shouldn't have said anything because we got a huge snow storm yesterday.

Gabriella wasn't too sure about the snow. She loves to eat it of course. In fact I gave her a snack in a bowl and she dumped the crackers out and filled the bowl with snow. Lol, she is such a funny kid. The snow was beautiful! Although I'm not enjoying dragging the stroller in it today, it is just making me grateful for when I have a car again.

Here's a cute video of Gabriella in her daddy's shoes
