Our niece and nephews

Just wanted to share these pictures - the first because Giarratana looks like a little angel, and the second because it isn't easy to get all four to sit still for a picture!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Christmas at the Crisafulli's

While we were home, we had an early Christmas at Jamie and Richie's. We managed to stuff ourselves with good food, open presents, and spend some quality time together! Obviously, Giarratana outdid us all in her red velvet Christmas dress . . . I'll have to pack smarter next year.

Back to Montana - Merry Christmas

We made an early trip back home to see everyone before Christmas. Our trips home are always TOO fast, TOO busy, but lots of fun. This one was no different . . .

We went to Ekalaka to watch Carson play basketball. Nelson & Basil came along, and (as you can see) they are big "Carson" fans. Brandon said, "I never thought I'd go to Ekalaka again" - well, never say never . . .

Christmas is finally here.

In other words, we finally put up our Christmas tree. We put the stockings up last week, but finally did the whole shabang today - lights, tree, and all. My favorite part is looking at all of the ornaments that we've collected over the years and remembering where they came from - thanks everybody! Have a happy holiday season and we'll see some of you soon!

Happy Thanksgiving

Trying to catch up with our posts . . . my Mom & Dad made the long trip for Thanksgiving this year. It was brave of them, given that there was only ONE DAY in November that it didn't rain or snow in Seattle. We just had the wettest month in history - hopefully December is a little drier.


We ate out for Thanksgiving (all of the food - none of the dishes, or leftovers), watched a Husky game (my mom getting into the Husky spirit), went to the aquarium, and relaxed. Overall a successful trip until Brandon got sick & I had to work on their last day. Too bad, but it was a fun weekend anyway. Thanks for coming to visit!
