Christmas Day Dinner

We had a nice dinner with mom-mom, pop-pop, uncle Darren and uncle Mikey. Daddy made a GREAT dinner of homemade sauce, meat , raviolis and escarole soup. It was a nice day spent with family and was soo yummy. Thanks for a great dinner daddy.

Christmas Day






















Bella came and woke me up at around 830 am and said hurry up and come down w/ me to see if Sants came!! We went and got Alyssa first then headed downstairs before going to the presents we went to the basement and woke up uncle Darren. We all headed upstairs to see what Santa brought. Bella was super excited that she got her Hair Salon, play Doh, Barbies just to name a few. Alyssa sort of understood the concept but didnt really want to open anything.

Christmas Eve at Aunt Dee-Dee's





We headed over to Aunt Dee-Dees for dinner. We had a great feast of the seven fishes and yummy desserts. The girls loved opening all of their gifts and had fun spending time w/ their cousins.

Christmas Eve





We took some photos before we headed to Aunt Dee- Dees for dinner. Alyssa didnt want to sit next to Bella for any pcics so mommy posed w/ Bella.

Winter Concert




The 3 and 4 year old class at Our Lady Mt. Carmel performed a Christmas Concert. Bella did great!! She sang all 5 songs and recited the three poems that they have been practicing for the last 2 months.

Winter at its Best!!




It doesnt get any deeper then this! We got a record snow fall of 24 inches last night. All of our deer and sleigh are buried we cannot get them out!! Crazy. We have very nice neighbors the Scharffs that let us borrow their snow blower thank goodness we would have still been out their.

Nap what nap?


I put Alyssa in for her morning nap. Bella was watchig Max n Ruby I told Bella I would be right outside helping daddy shovel the 24 inches of snow we got. This is what I found when I returned.
I dont think Alyssa ever took her nap. There where all sorts of toys in the crib with them from puzzles to a Dora casg register.

Hotel photo shoot




Bella and Daddy had a photo shoot in the hotel lobby.. (can u tell that the weather was that bad we where stuck in doors!) ps wheres Alyssa Dad? You where supposed to be watching her too?

T-REX
















On our last day we had lunch at T-Rex and shopped at Downtown Disney. Mommy and Daddy got new stockings and some other new Christmas decorations for the house.. Bella loved the hugh aquarium that was right next to our table at lunch. The girls loved all of the TOY stores we had to leep remiding them that Santa was coming soon so they couldnt get any toys. Bella is a slickster when it comes to her dad. She got a new Donald Duck and a baby Ariel stuffed toy. Alyssa got a little car w/ Mickey Mouse . Daddy took them on a ride on the carousel.

November

Well it was a busy month.. and some sickness too. Bella got a really bad virus and upper respitory infection. She was out of school for a whole week, it was horrible!. Then Alyssa got a milder case of it.. That was the first two weeks in November.
We had Olivias 2nd bday party and Coco Keys! Bella had an absolute blast! Alyssa wasnt there bc we had a wedding to go to so mom-mom watched her.
For Thanksgiving we went to mom-moms for dinner then had a sleep over. The next day she took the girls to see Santa !

Happy Halloween







Sorry it was a busy month so I am catching up on my blogging.



Bella was Belle and Alyssa was a bumble bee. They got lots of candy and had a blast.
