Buon Natale 2007

Christmas fun started with some Festivus bowling up in Oak Harbor. The boys really dressed up (Jeff politely declined the fashion contest).



Christmas Eve we headed to church for the kids' service, where Giacomo was enthralled with the bells, singing, and candles. It was fun to see so many friends and some of the kids (now adults) who used to be in the children's choir at church, who are now in college, or even having kids of their own! After church we headed to my cousin's house, where Giacomo got to play with his cousins Evan, Cadence, Aubrie and Rogan. It was cute having all the little blondies jumping around the house!Christmas morning Matt and Betsy and Aunt Kelly came over. Betsy cooked a yummy breakfast for us, Giacomo opened presents, and we watched A Christmas Story. My dad had NEVER seen it before!

Giacomo sure loved the kid-sized train some of my students made for him!

Merry Christmas!
