Merry Christmas/Happy New Year in

We had a great Christmas at home. For New Years we were able to travel to San Jose to visit Marc's brother. It was fun to get out of town and to be in Nor Cal again.

At Church Christmas Eve.

 I even got to see a friend from college!

Chiara and Luca had fun with cousins. One cousin is missing from the photos.

Thanksgiving/ Chiara's Par-tea, she is 3!

We spent Thanksgiving at Marc's parents like we do every year. His brother from San Jose and his family come down for a few days. These are pictures taken from our time there.

 The Happy Birthday Girl! Maria made her the dress.

I threw a Curious George Party for Luca. I made a Curious Geaorge eats banana bean bag game and a pin the yellow hat on the man game. Marc made Chiara and I "Bananas for Luca" shirts.

It was a really beautiful day and a great party surrounded by family and friends!
