Gifts

Its the time of the year when Manyu takes momma and papa to the christmas tree after breakfast

And gets to take a peek inside the gift bags sitting there for a long time

This time there were lots of gifts from relatives and friends near and far

including this gift from Seema - a nice leather jacket which is ideal for winter, but even better for my Steven Segal impersonation

Mommy made this calendar for papa - "It is manoo"

Winter Activities

Entertained guests at party with 2 word sentences. Mostly - Choket milk, no like it, Manoo didit, where the nemote?, I donno

Christmas Tree

I was inspector in charge of the lower branches of the christmas tree

I personally supervised each and every ornament that went there. I am meticulous like that.

I invited my buddies over and here we are barnacled on to mommy - Francesca, me, Diego and Arjun.

Diya is here expaining the important discoveries she made in 2009

And here papa is trying to hold me steady as I wriggle to escape.

December Parties

Ottawa, December - It is party time! In order to fight off my constant cold, papa's allergies and sinus problems and mommy's encounter with bronchitis we have been going to parties.

Here in the penthouse of the apartment I mingle with friends and eat the icing off pastries

I pay my respect to Santa

Demolish a few more icings

And sit at home and work on my memoirs on the colorful table my Grandma gifted me.

Sunday Morning Walk in the Park

Nov. 9, Ottawa - Nice sunny morning and what better thing to do after breakfast than to walk to the nearby Andrew Hayden park?

I pulled along mama

I wanted to go the play structures in the sand

This is one where we have to climb up a wooden ladder to a platform from where we can slide down a plastic slide

Mason, my new friend, was there to load my truck with some soil

Ducks in Riverside

Nov. 7, 2009 - It was sunny today and after the H1N1 flu shot I went to see ducks.

I chased them with a stick

Then I fed them

Papa told me about the ways of the duck

And mama told me about other birds.
