suzuki concert

charmian had a small studio concert this weekend. all the students played a song or two and mahala had a chance to play with a cello teacher and two of her orchestra classmates. 'swashbucklers saga' sounded awesome!

noble's restoration fieldtrip

ms. honda's class did some planting to help restore an area in marin near a creek. the habitat will provide a green 'path' for animals and birds on their way to the bay and the plants also will help with erosion along the creek.

christmas morning

christmas morning started in our room with the kids bringing their stockings into our bed and then after a scrumptious waffle breakfast we opened gifts. we also opening gifts over facetime with the peters and ailors. noble's reaction is when he opened tickets for a cal basketball game!

gingerbread house time

anoop, vineetha and ethan came over for a long overdue visit and the kids decorated gingerbread houses

xmas in morgan hill

we spent the morning at home but then headed to morgan hill to join all of the franks and esparzas (except for a few missing). we feasted and opened gifts and...as always...played mafia.

xmas decorating

ammamma and appappan were in town for our very late christmas decorating extravaganza - a couple of weeks before christmas. we got one of the last trees in town (a headless tree as we called it). we couldn't bake cookies because our oven was broken but we made the best out of decorating! early christmas presents from ammamma and appappan were given to mahala and noble too :)
