So, what next? Kavya & Oviya were about to turn '1' on Nov 24th. Since we had a plan of flying to India on their birthday, we had a pre-celebration at home with few friends, though there was a grand party plan in India too. ( after all it's their twin-special first birthday :-) ). Even 100 celebrations aren't enough for the day they were born. Here's a glimpse of the party pics.
Nov 23rd 2012
This day ( a day before their birthday), became an unforgettable day. With all the luggage and these two on board, we were heading towards the Newark airport which takes two hours to reach on a normal day. But, unexpectedly we were stuck in the traffic for two hours. And guess what, we couldn't reach the airport on time. Finally, we MISSED the flight. When we reached the airport, the customer care person told us to take the next flight which leaves after two hours in the nearby JFK airport. So, we rushed there in a taxi only to find out that it was a wrong information. The next flight was only for the next day. How could the day get even worse? Well, it did get worse... All 4 were stranded at the airport until our relative Prabhu searched a nearby hotel and booked our stay through Internet.

A year after Kavya and Oviya's magical birth, both were having their dinner at the booked hotel room after an exhausting day's mishaps. We didn't have a cake or candle, we didn't have party lights or decorations, we didn't even have guests or games. All we had was 4 little curious eyes waiting wide open to know what's gonna happen next :-) . Both listened to the 'Happy Birthday' song that we sang for them and went to sleep happily.
We finally boarded the flight to India that evening and that's the end of this story :-) .
Learning : No matter what terrific situations you handle, just wear the smile before the kids for they look into your eyes for every step of guidance :-)
