Daddy's Surprise Birthday Party!

For Daddy's birthday, we surprised him at the bowling alley by getting all the cousins together for bowling. Tanya Masi and Tricia Masi then brought Daddy, blindfolded, to the bowling alley, and he was surprised to see us all gathered there ready to wish him and celebrate his birthday together!

Thanksgiving 2010

It's been a while since I've updated our blog. We realized that November through February is the busiest time of year for the Shah Family. From Thanksgiving and Dad and Dada's birthdays to Christmas, New Year's, and Krish's birthday, we stay busy traveling, celebrating the holidays with family, and preparing for Krish's birthday party!

Therefore, now I am going back in time to Krish's very first Thanksgiving experience. We celebrated Thanksgiving at Anu and Rajiv's place with Lila Bhen and Diya Bhen and all of the cousins: Ankur, Vivek, Krishna and Roshan. We had a traditional Thanksgiving feast for the first time, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food. Of special note is Rajiv's delicious, baked macaroni dish. In addition to playing our traditional games - Guestures and Pictionary, Daddy and Vivek Kaka got to watch the Cowboys v. Saints game together!

Visiting Nani and Masis in Houston

Krish did so well in Houston!! Neil and I were so pleased. He slept well, napped well, went to bed on time and slept undisturbed at night! We were so happy that this trip opened the door to more travelling for our family.

Krish also had a blast in Houston, playing with Nani, Dada, Ba, his Masis, Pankaj Kaka, Mina Kaki, Halie Foi, and of course, Biscuit! It was so cute how he was crawling after Biscuit all the time. And as old as Biscuit is, Krish was in fact faster than him! I wish the video we took was small enough to post, but unfortunately it isn't.

Krish explored the whole house, stayed in Tanya Masi's room, and played the piano with Mama. He was also really happy to see all the Christmas decorations up at home - thanks to Nani and Tanya Masi, and he had so much fun playing with all the Christmas toys and tree.

Celebrating Daddy's and Dada's Birthdays!

While in Houston in November, we celebrated Daddy's and Dada's birthdays together at a Mexican restaurant in Clear Lake. Everyone was there! Dada, Ba, Nani, Pankaj Kaka, Mina Kaki, Halie Foi, Tanya Masi, Tricia Masi, Mama and Daddy. We were definitely missing Nana, Dada and Dadi though!

Krish had a great time listening to the mariachi band play "Que Sera Sera" for him, and he was totally fascinated with the Birthday Sombreros! It was a wonderful afternoon with family.

Happy Diwali!

Happy Diwali to Everyone! Ba and Dada came to visit this past weekend so that we could celebrate Diwali together and so that Krish could see what Diwali is all about. He was so excited to have his Ba and Dada over and to do the Diwali Pooja in his room. On Sunday, we had a Diwali Party with the family and everyone came over for lunch and games! Lila, Diya, and Krish all had a blast playing together! And of course, we all enjoyed lots of yummy mithai!
