Christmas 2010 and Kaiya’s 6th Birthday

I’ve been remiss in my posting duties. For that I apologize.

Sharon, Kaiya and I had a great trip to NY for Christmas. We had my sister out as well. We had a huge Christmas eve party at my parents’ house, as is usually the case. Even Santa showed up with presents for the deserving girls and boys.

The plan was to spend four days in NY. Mother nature had a different idea and dumped about 2 feet of snow on the tri-state area the night before we were schedule to depart, causing all sorts of flight cancellations. As a result, we had three extra days in NY to hang with the rents. We didn’t do much. Watched a bunch of movies. Ate a lot of good Italian food that we can’t get out West. Played some Wii. Did some shopping at Woodbury Commons, etc.

When we got home on Dec. 30th, we chilled until New Year Eve. We went out to a wine bar with the parents of one of Kaiya’s friends and Sharon’s friend Kathy. Was a fun night. Sharon had a little too much to drink though. 😉

The next big event was Kaiya’s 6th Birthday party which was held at The Jungle in Saratoga. It’s a HUGE warehouse type place that’s filled with what I can only describe has a massive, multi-story play structure. So the kids get to play for an hour or so before we go into a private room for pizza, birthday cake and presents. Then the kids can play some more to get all the energy they got from the cake sugar high out of their system.

Was a good time. We had 17 kids there and a load of parents. I do love having these parties at someone else’s place because then our house isn’t trashed. 🙂

Lastly, this past Martin Luther King day, my sister and her boyfriend Adam got engaged. I have no pictures of the ring yet, but there is a ring.

The fun continues.
