Roadtrip fun

Here's a video of the two little Goels, having so much fun in the car together on our way up to Tahoe. Needless to say, the ride was smooth, uneventful, and fun for the two of them keeping each other company :)

Tahoe

We went up to Tahoe with some friends for about a week last week. There wasn't a ton of snow, but there was more than enough to go sledding, have snowball fights, and make snow angels...in other words, not enough for the adults but plenty for the kids! It was Amisha's first time in the snow and both girls had a great time! Ananya loved sledding, running around the house, and eating snow, which she said tasted like watermelon. Amisha loved rolling around the different rooms, eating completely solid food and spitting her pureed baby food, and playing on the beach. And Pooneet and I had a wonderful time, as always, relaxing, enjoying the scenery/fresh air, and laughing nonstop with our friends :) We were definitely reminded that we really need to go more often!

Day at the Zoo

On the last day of 2011, we drove up to Oakland, met up with Tushar, Yamini, Sid, Sarah, and Avani and had a fun-filled day at the Oakland Zoo! We saw AMAZING animals - lions, giraffes, zebras, elephants, gibbons...it was such a gorgeous day, awesome animals to see and learn about, and fun times with some of our closest friends. Great way to wrap up 2011!

And here's a recent picture with Avva and Thatha:

Korean BBQ

We celebrated a recent and super exciting 49ers win with dinner at Korean BBQ with our favorite Korean, Eemo (aka Jean), and Steph, Dan, and baby Leah. It was Leah and Amisha's first Korean BBQ experience and the girls both handled themselves pretty well :) Jean and Dan did all the cooking, the rest of us did all the eating...needless to say, we can't wait to go there again!

Tchoi Family Visit

My dear friend Cami, her husband Won, and their adorrrrrrrrrrable daughter Karis visited us over the holidays! Steph, Dan, and baby Leah also came over for an afternoon of fun - lots of playing and taking pictures and oohing and aaahing over all the girly cuteness!

Here are some pictures from the fun day!

Star Swimmer

Ananya earned a red ribbon in swimming a few weeks ago! This means that she can swim by herself for 6 feet, put her head under water and hold her breath, and paddle with her arms and kick with her legs. We're so proud!
