Playing in the Snow Again





In New York there was a large winter storm that kept us inside for a day. Once the storm was over we headed outside with the dogs for some fun. We enjoyed eating the snow, sledding, throwing snow, and chasing the dogs. Dario even cried when we made him go insides because it was too cold. We really had a blast in the snow!

Christmas #2

"Mommy, Santa came again!"
Spiderman who shots things and talks
Of course we had to show daddy how it worked!
Just as excited for Spiderman as a book, love it!
Pretend food we had to show daddy
More food
Chef's hat with his name
He is so happy!
Some dishes
He would not take the hat off :)
"Mommy, look a kitchen in my room!"
"Mommy, it is hot, stay away please"
Placed all the food and dishes in the kitchen

Santa could not bring everything to New York so we decided to have another Christmas at home, while Skyping with Vince. He loved all his presents, especially the kitchen, which we have played with for two hours straight and stopped playing to eat. He also got a wonderful train set, and many other things. We really had a great Christmas and are thankful that Vince was able to Skype with us, we had a great time. Now, I am trying to figure out toys storage, my mission for the week!

Making More Christmas Cookies

Dario really enjoys helping me make cookies!
Dario is enjoying his cookies he just made!

Dario and I ate all of our Christmas cookies, so of course we had to make a few more for the last week before Christmas. Dario is getting better and better at helping me and is really enjoying it. I am so glad we made many memories this Christmas making cookies. I am sure there will be many more memories of making Christmas cookies in the years to come!

Visiting Santa!

Dario and I went to visit Santa for the first time this year. Santa said, " Dario what do you want for Christmas from Santa?" Dario said," A vacuum!" Santa looked at me and whispered, 'a vacuum?" I said, "Yes, Santa a vacuum." Dario was so excited to finally tell Santa he wanted a vacuum since he had been telling me for a few weeks that when he saw Santa he was going to ask for a vacuum. Now I hope Santa follows through and gets Dario a vacuum! :)

Christmas Town Part 2

Trying to get a picture together!
As we entered the park!
Had to enjoy this ride again!
Festival of Lights in Italy was amazing!
Flying a plane was also a lot of fun!
We found the swings!
Bumper Cars was Dario's favorite, he just kept doing it over and over again!

It was raining on day 2 of our trip, but it did not stop us. We were all bundled up ready to see all of Christmas Town. The good thing is there were hardly any lines, and we were able to see all of Christmas Town, and ride lots of rides. We had another amazing day, and really enjoyed the company of the Calabro Family!
