Sophie’s Bday Party

On Sunday, I took Kumquat to Lafayette to celebrate Sophie’s upcoming 1st birthday.  Her birthday is actually this Friday and I’m so glad that we were in town for the party.  It was supposed to be at a park in Orinda but with the unpredictable rain this past weekend, it was moved to a local Round Table.  The decorations were really cute with little elephants topping the scrumptious homemade cupcakes.  I usually don’t like cake but I ate TWO of these.  Ranee, they were delicious!!

There were lots of kids including the Chu twins.  Here’s a pretty funny photo of the four kiddos together.  This is one of the outtakes and I can’t help laugh when I see this.

We also managed to get a group photo of the kids and their moms.  It’s the first time we’ve had all four kiddos together in the same place.

She seemed a little confused by all the singing and everyone staring at her.  Click here if you can’t see the video above.

Here’s a photo of her getting a taste of the cake.  Yum yum!  Click here if you can’t see the video above.

Happy Early Birthday, Soph!

Ornament for 2012

Ta Da!  Here’s our Christmas tree all lit up and decorated with our collection of ornaments over the past 10 years. I also got a “K” pin for Kumquat’s stocking.  Koa’s is a huge one with his photo on it so it didn’t really fit under the tree.  Maybe I’ll have to get him a “K” pin and make him a small stocking too.

This year’s ornament came in the mail today.  It was perfect timing for the tree trimming tonight.

The Chu Twins are One!

Sadie and Theo turned one on Friday and there was a party for him on Sunday afternoon.

We rode Caltrain down to Sunnyvale and my uncle picked us up.  The ride down was pretty fun and Kumquat had a good time looking out the window.

Once we got there it was baby mayhem with babies everywhere.

Ishya did a nice job with the decorations and there was a gated-off area for the rugrats to play.

They had their first cake and Sadie seemed to enjoy it much more than Theo, who just sat and stared at it.

Kumquat also got to hang out with her 2nd cousins and it was nearly impossible to get a photo of all three of them sitting next to each other.

Happy Birthday Baby Chus!!
