Christmas December 2012

Another beautiful December has come and gone. 2012 will soon come to an end. But it was memorable.
As it is every year. We had lights outside and inside this time in our new home. And the same white tree as last year.



Arya is sitting next to the light up doggie and white tree that is hard to see. He got a Wii and some coloring stuff. A couple movies and superheros from us.



We had fun making sweets and laughing with these Santa hats :)



Mom and Dad had a chance to stay with us for a while and see how we live as well as  heal from the pain they had to endure. Mom's foot is finally getting better and Dad's knee has allowed him to walk more and more. Don't they look so great even as they are in pain? And slimmed down quite a lot.

We usually went to Kamran's house every year, but this time Christmas was at our house.
Here is the gang on their mobile and game devices having fun.



Arya also got a handheld Nintendo DS and games to go with it from Kami & Tina.





They played and played and played.



Then the guys wanted to try it out. It was funny watching them box. It made them really work out :) heheh



Then it was time for Kamran's 36th birthday celebration. It's really tomorrow but it was convenient to celebrate it today.



This pic is cute.



Here's one with all of us. Came out dark sorry ...



And one with Christina. I haven't had a pic with her in a long while.

And all 3 of us.

Wish everyone the best Christmas and Holiday together. May this blessed day bring you warmth, love and peace.

Thanksgiving 2012

This year we had some visitors at our house for early November.
It's so pretty when these wild turkeys open their feathers.

Makes me think of how every type of "thing" God has created, has some sort of beauty in it.

Here is a flock of them after they jumped over our fence.They can actually fly and move pretty fast.

Thanksgiving celebration this year was being thankful to be alive and ticking with those whom we love and in thought and memory for those whom are not with us.

Nana and Papa have been staying with us after Papa's knee replacement surgery and Nana's fracture accident. They are doing ok and on the road to recovery. It is nice having them with us for a while even though they want to do so much but cannot walk for a few weeks.

My beautiful cousin Anahita came to visit us. We miss her dearly all the time. So glad she came.

Kamran, Christina and Jamil were also with us. I didn't get a chance to get their photo though :(

We had Marie Calendar's Thanksgiving Dinner which was pretty good.

Here it is at our table lol. The top one is a nice pic though isn't it ??

Nana and I are setting the table and cutting the Turkey. (See her foot in a boot cast?) :(

Here is Arya eating at the table. Yayyy :)

Some fun after the food. "One for you and one for me," says Arya :)

Ali was the only one we missed a lot. We were packed with dogs and he was taking care of all of them.

But he did come to eat :)

Hope everyone had a great day! Love to all.

Halloween 2012

Once again this Halloween we are all sick. Mine came first and then Arya and now Ali. Arya did get to choose a costume and wear it. I had to hem it after we got it but he didn't take it off for 2 days. Glad he had fun.


This one is from earlier today playing in his room

And more from our new place.
Here's Maloos enjoying the sun after 3 years of only 1 bedroom view

Arya in my office. No furniture yet, but sometimes the floor seems to do just fine.

Let's fight outside! Ha-yah!

What is this? Persimmons? Nope. A flower bud. I didn't know either.

Nana watching Jamil and Arya play


Before the move

Moving

Well I know it's been a really long time since I have posted anything, but we've been going through a long and crazy move and hopefully our last move in our life. So once everything is finally done, I will update this blog once more. A summary on us - We are all ok just extra tired with this whole process. Arya has been busy with things so he is not really feeling the move, just a transition to a new house. There's a lot to still be done as this house was a fixer so many things to fix... Love to all of you...back in a few...

Arya's friend Noah's 4rth Birthday

It's been a while since they've seen each other but these two love to play and have fun together. Some pics from Arya's friend Noah's party. He is about 2 months younger.

Water Fun

Took Arya back to that Water park again 5 min from our house. He really enjoyed it. Mostly because he drenched Ali :) hehehe

More Random Pics

I was going through some pictures and I thought I'd post some since it's been a while...

When we made Superhero cookies :)



A couple weeks after Arya's head got shaved



A blueberry inside a strawberry? Who's idea was that one? Yes - Aryas!



When we bought doggie beds for the dogs before they slept in them. Sure brings old memories...





First attempt at making a superhero costume. Will update shirt & pants later!



Baking a cake together. I was fasting (it was so tempting but more fun to make).
