"La dernière fois que nous avions fait ça ensemble, c'était en 2011! "
I think "la dernière fois où" should be given as an option. See:

Or is "la dernière fois où" as unusual (even if grammatically correct) to encounter as "chaque fois où"?
Are there other usages of "fois" where "où" whould be very unusual?
(The other use of "fois" in this example "les rares fois où les attaquants adverses se sont approchés de notre but" does not seem to be one of them.)

We use de, du and des with venir verb and country, region or state. What preposition will we use with verb aller and country? e.g I go to Canada.
Why is "pommes de terre" not a correct plural of "pomme de terre", or perhaps the correct plural? I've never before seen "pommes de terres".
I know the history of 'la tarte Tatin' and that 'tatin', has come to be applied, in cooking circles, to other 'upside down' tarts, but as 'tatin' is an (unofficial) abbreviation for 'tarte Tatin' should it not be une/la tatin ? The only dictionary I have found that references 'tatin' as a noun on its own, Robert en ligne, defines it as feminine.

in the text, you start by saying 'ils leur ont préparé un cadeau....' Singular.
but at the end, you say '....de si jolis cadeaux'. It is hard to know if it is plural or not by just listening, especially when we started with just the one.
