Happy 70 Birthday Grandma

Happy 70th birthday Grandma! Thanks for coming to our house to celebrate this year! We love you so much! 





Christmas Day

We loved celebrating Christmas day with our family! 







Christmas Morning

Santa came! He snuck right by Daddy's bed without waking him up! The kids doors were wrapped when they woke up! Such a blessed morning to all be together and enjoy your traditional breakfast of bacon, eggs, and chocolate chip muffins!












Cookies for Santa

Kids are ready for Santa and his reindeer to stop by! 


Snow days

Kelsey got her wish. We had two snow days before Christmas so we ended up with a white Christmas this year! They were good helpers to Mommy shoveling the driveway.




Christmas Eve Mass

 

The kids were active participants in the children's mass with Father Paddy from our old church Notre Dame! They walked in the opening precession, sang holiday songs and answered questions. Such a cute angel and king!






Christmas Eve

Enjoyed the annual Christmas Eve with the LaSalvia's. Grateful they came to our house so Mat could participate in the festivities!

Rollerblading fun

We made the most of our day off and went roller blading! Dante is really getting the hang of it and even participated in the limbo game! Kelsey's roller dance moves are something to see. Thanks to Grandpa for hanging with Dad while we went out!






Annual Cookie Day

The tradition continues. Another successful day of making Christmas cookies. This year we made Grinch cookies! Love all our bakers!

Basketball season

So proud of our girl Kelsey playing basketball for the first time this year at Hoop Heaven. Glad I got to go see her practice and score a few shots, even in the tallest hoop she made it. I loved all the videos of her playing but nothing beats cheering her on in person. Big thanks to Grandpa for hanging with Mat so I could go watch Kelsey girl! 




Daddy's outside

Daddy got out of the house for a little walk in the driveway after a few weeks of recovery. We are so proud of how hard he's working to get walking and moving again. Go Daddy! 


December Girl Scouts

 It was a holiday meeting at girl scouts. They made gingerbread houses. Someone was silly maybe due to all the icing she was eating! 






Happy 1st Birthday Rico

Ricoville for Rico's 1st birthday was so fun. Glad the kids got to be with their cousin and we video with Daddy while we sang to Rico! We were so busy partying we forgot to take many pics, glad I got one with the birthday boy. 




Dante's holiday party

Dante's class won for best designed holiday classroom tree links door! He had PJ day, a holiday party and got to visit with Lucy the therapy  dog. He said it reminded him of Layla! 






Kelsey’s gingerbread day

I got to spend time at Kelsey’s school doing a bunch of STEM Gingerbread activities! It was also PJ day and she had her holiday party.
