Past Few Days :)

Friday after school we headed out to stay at the Calagna house for the weekend. Friday night after baths and a yummy dinner of Spaghetti and Champagne in honor of Uncle Nick, we loaded in the car and went looking at Christmas lights. The kids were out within two seconds of coming home and laying with Papa Joe.


Saturday morning we got up early to get ready for Uncle Nick's Celebration of Life. It was amazing how many people showed up and I loved to hear Chris speak along with Nick's two best friends, Mario and Kasey that I have known as long as I have been around. It turned out to be a wonderful day and all those that came to support our family are greatly loved and appreciated...We needed it and still do, so keep those prayers for peace of mind coming!
Those were the only three pictures I took, so I am looking forward to seeing the ones from Alice's sister, Aunt Margie. We had a Jack and Coke station and a big jar of Starburst (these were the two signs I had made - don't you love the picture of the bottle of Jack coming out of his backpack!). We also had food from Claros, which was one of Nick's favorites...




We spent the night on Saturday and Sunday was spent shopping and watching football! Yesterday Isabella said she had the "best day". Daddy went to work, so we spent the morning watching Christmas movies. We took a trip to see Santa and then decorated a Gingerbread House. We watched some more Christmas movies and she also got a Christmas word search book. So that was her perfect day. I love that the little things make her happy!
And this morning we had a wonderful visit with Bianca! Thank you my friend for coming over to visit and bringing the kids their fun presents!!

Love that gingerbread house! So festive. And Carter has the same fireman jammies like Vincent (except his are footed)! Looks like you are having a great Christmas season with the kiddos!

The kiddos look so cute in their jammies, and I am glad they had the "BEST DAY EVER!". My prayers are still a'coming for you all. Glad I could stop by on Saturday, but sad I could not stay longer to pay my respect.
