Merry Christmas to all

Merry Christmas from our family to yours. 

Santa 2015

Today the kids saw THEIR Santa today. It's the same one they've had since they were born. (Please let there be one more year of Santa. That's my Christmas wish)

Nic read his Christmas wish list to Santa 

Kate had hers memorized 

Gymnastic 2015

They love gymnastics and have gotten so good. Nic is killing the rings and Kate is learning her backhand spring. 

Look at those muscles!!

And he does all of this 100% on his own!

New shoes

Kate got her first pair of high heal shoes and hasn't taken them off yet!  They do seem to go with everything. 

I must admit, she got her love of shoes from me :)

My very own live Elf!

Nic came down from changing into pjs and made his very own elf costume! 

He's my real life Elf, making all my Christmas wishes come true. 

Skating

Thank you Mimi and D-dad for the birthday skates! It's raining, so we are learning to skate indoors. 

Soccer - GOAL

Our soccer star!  He has found his natural talent and LOVES it!!!  Papa, if you remember my soccer experience at Nic's age...it is the complete opposite!! 

 Of course...the Italian Flag

 His team. Nic is #9...and then the action shots for his GOAL

 He kicks...he kicks again (and a defender falls)...

 Goes through 2 more defenders...

 GOOOOOAALLLLLLL!!!!! and he scores!
