Over the holidays we toured the city of Yogyakarta (Jogja). We rode on traditional baychuks, toured the Sultans palace, the bird market, silver making factory, and batik making factory. It was all very interesting and even the kids had a good time.

We had the chance to head to the beach while my parents were here. Although you may not see it in the pictures we were very disappointed to see so much garbage in the water. Apparently it is always like that during the rainy season including Bali! The resort was very nice and we still had a chance to do lots of swimming with the kids.

Hard to believe our baby Grayson is one already! On January 2nd he turned 1 and the kids, myself and grandma made cupcakes to look like a balloon. Again we invited our neighbors and Grayson had fun opening gifts and licking the icing off the cupcake.
