The boys' room

The boys are finally in their own room! They love their new Star Wars bedding and their own space. It's been quite a transition but we're almost there (we still need to finish closets and decorate the walls). Here they are napping in their room, aren't they precious???

Disneyland

I took the boys to Disneyland today... it was fun. We went on a few rides in Fantasyland but the rides that the boys love the most are the Mad Tea Party and Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. They like the Teacups because of the spinning and they love Buzz Lightyear because each person gets a blaster to shoot alien targets. When will they want to go back on Small World???

Abby

Music Teacher Abby comes to Noah's preschool on Tuesday mornings. She always brings in a new interesting instrument to share with the children. This week she brought in a Saz from Turkey. Noah got to pluck at the Saz but Micah passed. What instrument will Noah want to play when he grows up???

"It is your destiny..."

Earlier this week, Noah told us that he was ready to fight Darth Vader. We have been to the Jedi Training Show at Disneyland several times, each time with him refusing to raise his hand to participate, so we were excited that he wanted to do this. We dressed him in his Jedi costume and we ventured off to Disneyland. Noah was chosen to go up and he was center stage right next to the Jedi. He fought Darth Vader and received a certificate afterwards... what will be the next fear he conquers???

Congrats Suzy!

Here is a great shot of Noah and my cousin, Suzy. Noah was the ring bearer and he held the rings that were attached to an orange camera (Suzy and groom Mike are photographers). Noah did a great job walking down the aisle! It was a sweet modern ceremony that brought me to tears... when will we see Suzy and Mike again???

Year of the Rabbit

After the rehearsal dinner, we went for a walk down the strip and walked to the Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. The kids loved walking around and we got a semi-good photo of 4 out of 6 (not shown, Baby Daphne and Emma). It was great to get all the cousins together. When will see them again???

Picasso

We had a wonderful dinner at the Bellagio Hotel at the Michelin star rated restaurant, Picasso. My sister was watching the boys and we were able to enjoy a few hours by ourselves among good food and art (of course, all originals). When will we go back again???

Tumbling class

Noah is taking a Tumbling class at the local Y. I have been waiting to sign him up for this class because it will help him with his coordination! Parents are allowed to sit in the first week of classes, so I got to see him do jumps, lifts, stretches, somersaults, and other various things... but my favorite part if when they finish an exercise they have to stand straight and lift their arms straight into the air (as if they just dismounted from the vault). It's the cutest thing. What else will Noah learn???

White Elephant

At the Christmas gift exchange, I chose Star Wars pancake molds. I thought it would be easy to make, but it was actually pretty time consuming. I have noticed that Williams Sonoma recipes have very specific directions, which I can follow, but the pancakes just took too long to actually make. I don't know when I'll make them again, so I hope the boys enjoyed them! When will I bring out the molds out again???

Happy 2011

Happy 2011! We ate traditional Korean soup and afterwards Noah, Micah, Kaitlyn, and Emma bowed to Harabujee and Halmoni. They received money, symbolizing good luck and good wishes. 2010 was such a memorable year, what will 2011 bring???
