Holidays with the Shahs Part I: Snow Weekend

This past holiday season, we enjoyed as much family time as we could given December is Daddy's busiest work month of the year.  Luckily, it snowed the first weekend of December enabling some quiet family time at home for a relaxing change after Tricia Masi's and Atul Masa's wedding the weekend prior.

Enjoying Dallas' First Snow of the Winter Season - Dec. 6, 2013

If it weren't for being at home, we would never have found the time with Daddy around to put our tree and Christmas decorations up.  This year was Arjun's second Christmas, and it was so interesting to see how much he has grown since he was just one month old last Christmas.  He is truly a little toddler now.  He can walk and he converses with you all the time in "baby talk".  He says "Mama", "Dada", and "Hi".  He is very musical and loves to sing!  His favorite songs that he sings back to you are "Lou, Lou, Skip to my Lou" in "da da das" and "Jingle Bells"!  His ability to walk now has also lead to quite an interest in the Christmas tree, as we predicted.  He loves touching all the ornaments and, of course, trying to pull them off.  He was so fascinated by the ornaments and lights though, and it was so much fun to see that.

Krish also loves this time of year, and it was so great to see the two brothers interacting and enjoying the holiday culture together.

So fascinated with the tree and ornaments!

eventually pulled off the tree.  

Sweet Brothers Love Each Other!

The snowy weekend also led to a family photo session at home in front of the tree that allowed us to make a holiday card to send to all our family and friends!
