Christmas Program 2010

I know that it is coming as a shock to everyone, who knows me and has read my past blogs, that I have blogged more than one time in the last month. Not to mention four times. A lot has been going on here lately. The trips, parties, events, and then today the kids had their annual Christmas Program at school. 

Jasmine looks all sparkly here because we used about half a bottle of glitter on her. She was so excited and the most animated that we have ever seen her at a performance. Normally she is shy and does not want to be seen on stage. She wants to hid in the group, but this year she was blowing kisses, waving and really performing. I was so proud of her. She was so cute.

 

This is her singing the song.

 

This is Benjamin. He was his normal animated self. He beats to his own drum and owns that fact.

 

Here is Benjamin singing and dancing to his song, reindeer hokey pokey. The whole thing was too cute. They are definitely getting older, taller, and wiser, but they are still cute as ever.

San Diego Trip

I know there are lots of Pictures in this blog, but they were so cute I could not decide which ones to keep or to get rid of. So I kept them all in this blog. We loved this trip.

We went to the Gaslamp District and Uncle Bassim bought us all mustaches. Jasmines was called the Weasel.

 

Benjamin was the Sheriff. It actually looked good on him.

 

This was at Sea World in front of Shamu's stadium. She was so excited.

 Here is Benjamin also in front of the Shamu Stadium. He had a million questions while we were there. Once he found out that the "original" Shamu was dead, he told everyone that he saw that this is a fake one. Cassy (his 2 year-old cousin) then was following up his comment with, "Shampoo was dead and we eat him."

 We were blessed to have not only Rougeh's family with us, some dear friends, but on top of both of those we had my brother and his family with us. Trevor is here with me. I love this little boy!

 On the way home we stopped by Kings Harbor. Captain Kidd's is our favorite sea food place of all times. They steam and crack the spider crabs for us. We ate two crabs and three dozen of their clams. It was such a great meal. The kids saw this whale outside the door to the restaurant and could not help playing a bit.

Jasmine just being stinking cute. I love her so much. Look at those freckles, teeth and beautiful blue eyes.

Daddy and kids in front of a clown mural. They are acting silly. We all had so much fun. Great relaxing trip.

They were on the rocks at the Pier. Rougeh wanted a picture with the kids. His instructions were lift your hand up. Jasmine and him were on the same page, but Benjamin missed the memo that lift your hands up meant in the air, not shrugging your shoulders. I think the picture was so cute though.

These are my boys. They are so much alike in personality, in looks and in the fact that they both LOVE to pose for a camera.
