Happy 2010

Happy New Year
I hope you have a bigger and better year than 2009.

I had a nice quiet New Year at home. We watched a few movies and were in bed at 12:05. Man how times have changed over the last 10 years. I can remember staying out till 3am. Does that mean Kenny and I are getting old:) It's not worth having 1 drink and driving home. We took Izabella to see Alvin and then to get pizza. What a cute movie-I recommend it to all kids. Rozalee isn't old enough yet to sit through a movie. I did get to go to my Italian family reunion on Friday. It was great seeing everyone-I only see most of them 1x a year.

I got all the Christmas decorations down and ready to start a new year. I love the holidays-wish they came more than 1x a year.

I did it-I Ice Skated and didn't fall!!!!

Was Santa good to you? I had the bestest of all best weeks.

It started w/ a Cookie Exchange at my moms. I came home w/ 72 cookies:) It was my first and alot of fun. Izabella thought she died and went to heaven picking cookies from everyone's baskets.

On Thursday we took the girls to lunch and went ice skating. It was so much fun. Kenny and Izabella went last year so it was my year to try it. I haven't roller skated in years but it was just like riding a bike. The only bad thing was kids were better than me and the older ones were TEXTING while skating. I thought driving and texting was bad:)

Santa was WAY to generous to the girls and me. The girls got way to much as usual. My hubby was extra generous to me. It was a nice day to chill out and have a glass of wine or two.

I'm very thankful for everything and everyone in my life.

Have a great NEW YEAR and be safe.

Christmas at Bears

It's already Christmas at the Bear's. Izabella had her last day of school w/ a fun little X-mas party. Santa and Mrs Claus showed up on Saturday while we had all the Bears and my side of the family here. You should of seen the kids faces when Santa barged in the front door during dinner:) Talk about FOOD, we had enough food for 2 other families. I had the most ever at my house-around 20 adults and 6 kids. Sunday we finally got a chance to play in the snow. Kenny pulled Izabella behind the quad on a new sled that Santa brought.

MERRY CHRISTMAS and be thankful for what you have and who cares about what you don't.

Happy Holidays to EVERYONE

Well last weekend we went to the Lebanon Ohio Horse Parade. It is 1 hour of nothing but horse drawn carriages. We try to go every year because it is the BEST of the BEST of parades.

My grandma, mom, Izabella and I also went to see the Rockettes this week. I want to be a dancer!!! That is an awesome show and recommend it to anyone. There is so much talent up there on that stage, it's breath taking.

Izabella was in her school Christmas program and our church program this weekend. She had her first program where she actually had to say something by herself. She did great but let me tell you, when the teacher says to say it loud, she does-guess she gets that from me!!! You could hear her over everyone when it comes to her singing x-mas songs. It was alot of fun, Rozalee liked seeing her sister up there too.

Well as usual, I hope you all have a great holiday season and spend time w/ family and friends.

Happy Thanksgiving

This was the best Thanksgiving ever.

We celebrated my Grandma's 85th birthday then headed to Maryland to visit my cousins-I haven't seen in a long time. The kids had a blast, my aunt waited on the girls hand and foot, we ate and drank way to much for 4 days. If you are ever in Baltimore, go to Port Discovery, it's the coolest place for kids. Then we went to have lunch at ESPN Zone, got a private room plus Izabella got to meet the Raven cheerleaders. We did a day of bowling, then batting cages. The adults got to go out to a very nice place for dinner-Fogo de Chao. It's a HUGE salad bar but they bring you fresh cooked meat of 10 different choices on a HUGE sword. You'll have to go there to believe how this works. You have a chip and when it's on red they won't stop but as soon as you turn it green the MEAT is on it's way. I was scared at first, grown men running around with knives!!! Anyway, I hope you all had a great holiday w/ family and friends. Izabella is already asking about another road trip-they loved watching movies and eating out for a 10 hour drive. It was a PERFECT trip.

Did I mention I kicked my hubby's butt in BOWLING

(thank God he doesn't know how to use a computer to read this!!!!)
