At the mall on Monday, Gio observed a pug dog walking by and commented, "Aw, what a cute little puppy!" |
| True: we celebrate with an aluminum Christmas tree. This year we upgraded it with a color wheel! |
 |
| SO exciting! |
 |
| Proof that Santa & Rudolph ate their cookies & carrots |
 |
 |
| I'm not sure but it looks like he's praying. LOL |
 |
| My gift to my sister. Don't worry she got even: she gave me chatter teeth. HA HA HA!! |
 |
| Yes, that's a hot dog steamer that mom & I got Bailey. It even barks when the hot dogs are finished cooking! |
 |
| Lego & Star Wars heaven, Gio was in :) |
 |
| Princess dress up clothes for Princess Gracie all bundled in a princess hat box |
 |
 |
| Triplets! Henry, Charlie & Sophie |
 |
| Dillon love Mr. Knightly & doesn't leave him alone for a second when he's here. |
 |
| The joy just kept on spreading all day long... |
 |
| Katie's laptop dreams came true :) |
 |
| Priceless |
While doing dishes the other night, I could hear that Vinnie was doing something with our Little People Nativity in the living room so I asked Gio what was going on out there. Gio came running into the kitchen & shouted, "Augh!  |
| Vin-Vin never wants to miss the action...but has no problem sneaking in a sweet snack no matter what the crisis (he was SOAKED at our snow trip so Grandpa sat with him in the warm car) |
 |
| He will push & push himself to stay awake so as to not miss a minute of action which often results in unexpected naps in unexpected places (Walmart by Horsey Grandma's) |
 |
| Connoisseur of all things sweet |
 |
| Great lover of Buzz Lightyear (I swear, I think he thinks he IS Buzz!) |
 |
| Admirer of art |
 |
| Always seeking adventure where you'd never expect |
 |
| Vinnie could not resist the temptation of the changing table sitting out, waiting for Jim to pick up. He would climb out of his crib after I'd put him to bed, climb to the top, fasten his seat belt and promptly fall asleep. |
 |
| I find him in my bathroom sink, filling it with water often |
 |
| He was THRILLED the first time he rode Astro Blasters (and was aware of his surroundings). You should have heard his squeal of delight when he saw the larger-than-life-size Buzz! |
 |
| He's really curious about babies, especially his cousins |
 |
| And let's not forget the horror of the day I let his dad "trim" his hair |
 |
| Loves fitting into small spaces....I guess 'cause he can |
 |
| This kid can climb ANYTHING! |
 |
| Is SUPER silly |
 |
| And has a BIG imagination! |
 |
| It was cloudy & cold so we couldn't have it in the backyard :( |
 |
| Just like Snoopy's - the kids were SO excited when they saw them! |
