Goodbye 2011, what an incredible year you were! One son turned one years old, while another son was born! In between, we made many wonderful memories traveling to Colorado and New York, and took little family trips to San Diego, Los Angeles, Oak Glen, Catalina Island, Santa Barbara, Cambria, Monterey, and Carmel-by-the Sea. We visited zoos, aquariums, parks, gardens, farms, and even attempted Disneyland! We took trains, planes, boats, duffy boats, automobiles, and even rode around on bikes. We reunited with Brad's family while in New York and skyped with our Babi and Deda every chance we got. We had so much fun on playdates, and just spending time with family. At Taj's one year mark, Brad and I finally began "dating" again, dining out, overnights without the baby, and even a 4 night Palm Springs party weekend sans baby. And while mommy put her career on hold to focus on babies, daddy's business is booming more than ever. Every month of the year Taj kept surprising us and impressing us with his language skills and many talents, while at the end of the year (on Christmas Day exactly) we got the biggest surprise of all, the arrival of our second little stinker Jax. So to commemorate one pretty amazing year, we decided to dress up and have a little fabulous family party of 4 to ring in the next year. It seems like each year just keeps getting more and more exciting, I wonder what kind of excitement and adventure 2012 will bring us?! On NYE, Brad picked up yummy sushi, the boys dressed in coordinating outfits, I got the party hats and blowers, and even little Jax dressed in his finest tuxedo shirt. Here we caught him in the middle of a sleep smile:
The Grover boys in their matching red socks, grey jeans, and donning chic ties with their t-shirts (with the exception of baby Jax who had on his red bow tie!)
here are the ties if you look closely:
Taj stayed up to 9pm and we counted down to the new year east coast style, watching the ball drop live in NYC on TV. Taj enjoyed blowing the horn and watching the celebrations around the world on TV. Its so exciting to ring in the new year in a different part of the world, I still remember the breathtaking 30 minute fireworks show above Bangkok NYE 2009on our honeymoon in Thailand..... cannot wait to take the boys to exotic destinations for the New Year Eves to come!
