How cool - these were the teacher gifts I made this year. They are mugs I painted with chalkboard paint and I wrote the teachers name on them. I filled the mugs with hot chocolate mix, candy canes and a chocolate dipped spoon. Needless to say they were a big hit!
my birthday was shared with new friends along with their kids - It was a nice PEACEFUL birthday!
Samantha with her 2 best friends:
ughh my attempt at my annual Thank you picture this year - this one didn't make the cut but it was funny with Anthony. He kept putting the lights too close to his face and then I couldn't use the picture:
4 of the 5 at the Tree - we had a great day in the city. The weather was perfect.:
Oh Bella - she is gonna be a star when she grows up...lol
it's not Christmas until we visit the red balls. This used to be Steve's old office. I point this out cause he points this out EVERY YEAR!! WE KNOW ALREADY :)
Times Square!
Santa's visit an Anthony keeping a close distance. They did come off the truck and walked over to him with a candy cane - he happily took that:
I know this is really going back but I saw this and thought how funny to see Sophia smiling. It's good thing she doesn't have eyes in the back of her head:
We took the kids to the local Hibachi Bar and they had a blast - Can you find the apple? Look for it :) and no she didn't catch it but tried 3 more times...lol
Another Christmas Eve! The kids table
OK this is Anthony coming into the living room Christmas morning and he's seeing all the present for the 1st time. Yes the carpet is wet due to a incident with the fish tank the night before- don't ask:
Oh meet Maggie: YES I KNOW WE HAVE 5 KIDS AND 3 DOGS:
