Happy New Year!

Well, I haven't necessarily kept to my promise to blog more! However, thanks to a new home computer, it should be easier (although this post with all the pics seemed to be a bit challenging). Needless to say, HAPPY NEW YEAR! We had a wonderful holiday season. We were fortunate to both give and receive a lot of very nice gifts in what was a challenging year for so many. More importantly, we were able to spend some treasured time together as a family and with our extended family and friends. And to my three little ones...always remember you are my greatest gifts! Thank you for making the holidays so magical! We wish everyone a happy and healthy 2010!

Christmas Preparation :)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!! We have been busy baking, decorating and getting ready for the holiday! Francesca is particularly excited and enjoying every last minute (even waking up early) of the decorating. The kids are all at a really fun age and we're all looking forward to Christmas!

Be grateful.

We are so fortunate to have the family we do! We spent the Thanksgiving holiday discussing what we were thankful for...Francesca's responses included 'bumblebees', 'apples', 'pizza' and 'Daddy' (I think he bribed her!) We also spent the weekend celebrating David's (our nephew/cousin) 11th birthday!
