67

We celebrated Harabujee's 67th birthday today. Of course Halmoni made a delicious Barefoot Contessa cake and this year the kids actually let him blow out his own candle. Wonder what he wished for???

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a delicious Thanksgiving dinner with traditional American fare and of course kimchi. Last year, Noah tried asparagus and green beans and loved it but now he has an aversion to veggies! Micah loved the dark meat on the turkey... will he like veggies???

3 (later that day)

We went to Bubbe's for dinner. Uncle Zach got Noah a cool Beastie Boy's shirt and we brought over a chocolate cupcake from Disneyland. Doesn't Noah look older with Daddy's hat on???

Today we ventured to Disneyland for Noah's 3rd birthday. Casey Jr. Train, Toon Town, Small World, and finally crossing over to California Disney so he could watch the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live Show was on his list. It was a real relaxing day and so much fun! Now that our annual passes have expired, when will go to Disneyland again???

Happy Birthday Noah!!!

Noah's 3rd birthday party was at the Petersen Automotive Museum. We had a fifties car theme with the kids dressed in jeans and cuffed white shirts. Johnny Rockets catered with sliders, fries, and shakes and Bubbe made an awesome cake with a race car track in the shape of a 3! Noah and his friends had a fun time going through the Discovery exhibits. This birthday party was great... what will be next year's theme when he turns four???

It has been ten years since Jawsh took me out on our first date in San Diego. Around this time last year, Micah was just a few months old and we didn't go out to celebrate. But this year we had a lovely dinner at Craft (yes, Tom Colicchio's restaurant) which was much nicer than Corvettes (the restaurant we ate at ten years ago). Wow... ten years has gone by fast, hasn't it???

Bowling!

Tonight we went bowling with the parents at Noah's preschool. It was a great evening full of beer, fried food, and fun times. It was nice to see everyone without their kids, just having a great time. We bowled two games before we got an unexpected call from Uncle Zach (who was watching the boys). When will we go bowling again???

Happy birthday Kyer!

Today we celebrated Kyer's 1st birthday! We had a nice time at the park and it was great to be part of the celebration. Here is cutest picture of best friends (two generations) wouldn't you agree???

Adventureplex!

Today we went to Adventureplex to help celebrate Nathan's 3rd birthday. It's a cool place for kids to climb, jump, and slide. It was so great to reconnect... when will we see them again???

Oh Micah!

Anyone who has spent time with both Noah and Micah, know that these two boys are different. Micah likes to grab cords, the mini-vacuum, pull blinds, and jump off beds. Today he decided to pull the blinds, which then knocked down Noah's framed hand and foot print, cracking the frame, that hit the plug covering, which scared Micah and knocked him down over his car. Oh Micah! And where is your sock???

Crumb at the Hammer

We took advantage of Free Thursdays at the Hammer Museum to check out the Robert Crumb exhibit with a few of Noah's friends. Noah really enjoyed seeing Raiden (not shown), Andra, and Atom for dinner but the museum was tricky. Having 3 kids and 2 babies in tow was disturbing to some of the museum guests who gave us the "stinky eye." But as parents who love the arts and want to expose our children at an early age, we were determined to make this a pleasurable experience (meaning we took them out of the gallery if it got too loud). Next show on schedule is Giant Robot... who wants to come???
