Christmas Season 2010

This season was as busy as usual.  I have discovered what a good little shopper Giana is!  We went all over the place trying to make sure that no one was forgotten.  We visited with a lot of family and had WAY too much sugar!  Here goes...

Amber and our friend Luke at the church Christmas party.  Amber was obviously an angel. 

And here we have Jonah with friends: Seth and Maddy.  He was Joseph and they all sang in a trio.

Amber was able to make the traditional Gingerbread house in Kindergarden.  I got to help assemble the houses.  But, to my disappointment-I wasn't able to see her decorate her house.

While Mama and Papa were at the temple, the kids played in the kitchen with Mimi!  Left to Right: Giana, Amber, Jonah, and Ethan.  Giana was loving the sprinkles which is fitting seeing as how her favorite name is "Sparkles"!

We were invited to a friends house to make gingerbread houses.  I don't recall making them, but I do have a bad memory.  It's not something we normally do.  Like I said, the kids get to make them in Kindergarden.  It was a good time, though!

Then, we were invited to Rocco's Aunt and Uncle's Bounce House place.  That's where the Del Priore's have been meeting up lately.  This was a pic of Rocco and his cousin Anthony inside of one, they had been wrestling.  These Del Priore men are so playful!  I love it.  That little girl inside is Giana.  She kept crying when Rocco was wrestling, all of our kids have done this a babies.  I think they are tender-hearted.

This was the children playing on Christmas morning, while the adults were cooking breakfast.  Giana and Amber were playing at Gigi's new "Tangled" table.  I still can't believe that she got a pillow pet!  Ethan was reading and Jonah was playing his DS, this is them in their element!

Amber got a vanity, cd player, and crafting supplies to name some.  She was a happy girl!

We got snow on Christmas night.  Here's aunt Tiffy doing Gigi's hair.  Doesn't she look so happy?!

And, we ended the season with Step Throat all around.  Thank goodness our grocery stores give free antibiotics because I had to get 4 sets!  Amber was acting so dramatic for the Dr.
