Christmas 2008

Christmas Eve 2008 was spent at Uncle Nick and Aunt Dorothy's home in Long Island. We did the traditional fish dinner and everyone lent a helping hand in cooking (under Grandma Rosa's supervision...of course!!!) Aunt Maryann and Uncle Dave gave everyone really cool cooking aprons to help us feel like professional chefs. Everything tasted great and we had a great time!

Brian helped Grandma with the "smelts" while Cara and Aunt Maryann had a "crepe making contest" for the manicotti. (See Aunt Mar's face of determination)

Uncle Dave does the dishes while the "Three Amigos" work on shredding mozzarella.

It was a great time, and we were all wiped out...especially Joshy and Uncle Nick! A special thank you to Uncle Nick and Aunt Dorothy for having us!

Fall 2008

For Thanksgiving, we went to visit Cara and Jim in Massachusetts. Everyone had a great time and we cooked different kinds of Turkey as well as Pumpkin Stew! A few days later, we had fun raking leaves and jumping in them...
