4 years

Its hard to believe that Marc and I will be celebrating 4 years of marriage next week. I don't say that negatively. Its gone by so fast and yet feels like it should be longer because of all that has happened in 4 years.
Marc is honestly my favorite person to be around. I never get tired of him...even when he is annoying. He is my best friend and challenges me without trying. He is a great dad and a hard worker and so gifted and talented sometimes it drives me nuts...how can one guy be good at so many things?
He is an answer to prayer and great balance and compliment to my personality. I love him with all my heart and I still think he is super hot. I've been calling him "handsome" as a pet name since we were dating. I love it when we think the same thing out loud or know what the other one is going to say. Thank you God for the amazing man you made for me to share my life and with whom to raise a family! Yay for marriage!

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.

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!
