First Christmas

Holidays are even MORE fun when you're sharing traditions with the next generation.  Little Giulio was the center of our attention throughout the holiday season (obviously). We had to keep him a long way from the Menorah candles, but he loved this Happy Hanukkah sign that you rotate to "light" the candles.
Even the most photogenic of us can be caught with eyes closed!

Christmas Eve we had our usual large family dinner with Fabri's family.  Giulio was a star as were his friends Genaro and Stella who came to dinner as well!

Christmas Eve cuddles
Christmas morning we were free to enjoy some of my family traditions including opening presents in our pajamas and eating a yummy Christmas brunch!
Checking the stockings Christmas morning!
Playing with new toys!
First Christmas & first French Toast, what a day!!
Holiday Football - I had to include this photo!
New Year's Eve Fabri worked, so Giulio and I spent a little time with his Nonni, and then came home very early to go to bed.  Then Epiphany we were able to get together with all of the cousins one more time and since Gaetano, Detta and Sofia had been in Caserta for Christmas, that meant MORE PRESENTS!

 There are so many more great photos. Make sure to check out my Picasa Web Album!

I love his hair, his eyes, his overall cuteness and that photo of him and the pig.

And you look great, too!
