Vani’s 44th Birthday & Disneyland!

Blessed to celebrate another year around the sun! Nick treated me to a day out and about in the Palisades followed by cake and dinner with mommy and daddy and the kiddos! Then Nick and I headed to Disneyland for 3 days!

And to add a cherry on top of a perfect day we received the best news, Baby Gia Gundara was born the morning of October 11th so she will be my Birthday Twin! ❤️❤️

Disneyland pictures coming in a follow-up post!! Too many good memories to add onto this one 🎠

Aanika’s 12th Birthday!

Our beautiful Aanika turned 12 today. She requested Sushi for dinner and to see her Nana and Nani! So that’s exactly what we did. We had a low key, celebration over tea and cake at home 🙂 And we made sure her favorite second Mama Candy was there too 🙂

Aanika is very into the Little Mermaid right now so she got a LM themed cake and we got her the whole set of figurines from the movie. Since we kept the celebration small this year o dresses up Aanikas dolls to help us celebrate 🎉

Jatin is about to enter the 11th grade! He decided that it was time for a fresh cut and letting his dad line up his mustache for the first time. ❤️🥹❤️

Beach Life 2023 – Zuma

Nick and I have fallen in love with the beach. Something about it allows us to take a breath, get a break from the beautiful chaos of raising a family and just be us for the day. We pack drinks, pickup breakfast burritos and grab a bit at Howdies in Malibu for lunch after we’re done soaking in the sunshine and sand! We love it more and more each time we get out there. Perhaps someday we’ll have a second place closer to the water.

Nicks 46th Birthday!

Nick took the entire week of his birthday off this year! It was awesome since the kids were home for summer holidays as well we were relaxed and able to enjoy some much needed relaxation and FUN! We had a beach day, tested out some new restaurants and of course there was cake!

Some highlights include taking Jatin to Pijja Palace followed by Button Mash for the first time.

Another evening we headed to Korean BBQ – Ayce Gogi.

We hosted a small hangout birthday party at home with siblings and best friends. I thought the golden crowned lion was fitting as his centerpiece! Birthday boy has a heart of gold, is our loyal Leo the lion and loves his life with honor. read more
