Merry Christmas! I took a bit of a blog vacation as we've been busy enjoying family, playing with new toys and being snowed in (enough already!). Here's just a few snapshots of our past week.

Angelo was in heaven tearing open all his presents on Christmas Eve (with Jim's side of the family) and then again on Christmas morning (with my side of the family). He wasn't really old enough this year to anticipate the day he would wake up after Santa had been there, but he was definitely old enough to enjoy unwrapping and then testing out all his toys.

He really does love everything but this garbage truck from Grandma & Grandpa has been a special favourite. Angelo loves garbage trucks and will (loudly!) point them out to us whenever he sees one.

Zio Dino felt the need for a little payback with this drumset. We may have bought our nieces some slightly noisy toys over the years and he's been waiting for the day that Angelo was old enough for the drums.

I'll be back in the new year with more posts. Everyone have a happy and safe New Year's Eve!
