A Week in the Life....last blast of Christmas iPhone Pix...

Helping "Fix" Ally's Hair

What you don't see here is Kayla's new haircut and the big deal we made about it....

After The Kiddos and I left for our company Christmas party, Miss Thing took her "kid's safety scissors" and gave herself a haircut! UGH ;)

Thanks to my friend Alison for capturing some iPhone pix at the girl's Christmas Party at School

One last message for Diana from Relf the Elf

The girls in Mrs Pappalardo's class...don't they look like 8th graders?  hysterical

Ally captured this one for me...on our way home Monday night....sometimes the cheesier the better (especially for kiddos)

Making the Zeppolis on Christmas Eve

 

Hope you all had a magical Christmas...we sure did!  Linking up with Jeannett at Life Rearranged

Christmas Day 2013

For us, it was a relaxing day filled with all of our family and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute

Christmas Morning, with Diana, was magical....she was so so excited and obsessed this year....

It started with coming down the stairs

Opening presents was fun....but nothing compares to Diana opening up her American Girl Doll!

When the big kiddos arrived, Diana was spoiled with even more gifts...

 The kids were PSYCHED with their Keurig machines!

Diana had fun trying out her new makeup kit on Kayla ;)

 

After breakfast with Papa and Grammy and the kiddos, it was time for the Mini Fam to head to Mimi and Papa's...Guess What?  Diana was spoiled OF COURSE...it was like Santa came again!

My mom outdid herself...We had wonderful apps..then the old school Italian pasta course of ravioli, homemade gravy with meatballs, sausages, braccole and pork chops and oh yea...the main course of Beef Tenderloin, Asparagus with Hollandaise, Cheesy Potatoes, Stuffed Tomatoes, Caesar Salad and Popovers....way too much but oh so wonderful

Here is a glimpse of her gravy in action

Hope you all had a magical Christmas...we certainly did

Christmas Eve 2013

Last minute running around....making apps...making zeppolis (successfully this year!) a beautiful mass at St Matt's and then

Feel more blessed than ever!
