Mom's birthday

My mom's birthday was on the 8th. We spent the day with her brother and sister, catching up and eating lunch. I love spending time with my aunt and uncle since I rarely see them these days.

That night we went to our favorite family restaurant Tommy's and had delicious sushi. Charlie had dinner as well (not sushi obvi). It was a really nice day with lots of family time.

Last night in Singapore

I just uploaded my camera since being back in California. Here are a few pics from our last night in Singapore with Justin. We went to a restaurant called Margarita's, we sipped on skinny girl margaritas and all had spicy shrimp tacos. I am missing Justin, only a few more days till he is here.

Christmas Tree

This weekend Charlie and I went with my parents to go pick out our Christmas tree! We always buy our tree from this family who has a Christmas tree farm out in Santiago Canyon. You get to walk around rows and rows of trees to pick yours out, and then they chop it down right in front of you to bring home. I always love going there, and it was great to bring Charlie along on the tradition.

Charlie's Christmas Party

The Saturday before we flew back to California Charlie had a Christmas party with all his friends. The babies all wore headbands with themed hats or reindeer antlers. They are such a cute group! The parents sipped on mulled wine while the babies played together. Santa made an appearance towards the end of the party as well! Santa gave Charlie a secret Santa pressie, it was the first gift he has opened and he liked the wrapping paper more than the toy. Typical. Lovely jubbly day!

Phuket

Charlie's first trip to Thailand was great. He was in the water all day and loved it. He had his first trip to the beach, he wasn't so sure about the sand but did so well in the ocean with daddy. Both the flights were not great, they happened to be during nap time and Charlie isn't great at sleeping when there are other things going on around him. A sleep deprived Charlie is not the best, let's just say one lady actually had the nerve to ask me to move. That's a whole other story, but needless to say I am nervous about our 20 hour flight to the US next week since an hour and a half flight to Phuket was terrible. But back to our vacation, the villa Justin booked was insanely gorgeous. It was two stories and had a private pool, it was very very nice. Breakfast everyday started with champagne, so no complaining there! And we all relaxed and read and swam all day, it was glorious. I missed Thai food, it is so delicious! My mom loved trying everything. Here are a few of my favorite pics, the rest can be viewed on my facebook here.

Singapore Open

We took Charlie to the Singapore Open golf tournament with some friends recently.

We had to park far away and they shuttled everyone to the course, Charlie loved the bus and looking out at everyone.He did pretty well the whole day. We were all paranoid of the babies making noise while players were teeing off, but thankfully they behaved.The boys relaxed on the grass and played for most of it. Lovely day.

Swim Lessons

Last week Nana took Charlie to his swim lesson. It is great to have her here and do everyday activities that she normally is not a part of. Charlie in his shark outfit!Charlie with the swim instructor flying in the air!
