Good Friends

There's really nothing better than having dinner with good friends.  Stella and Maia had an amazing Sunday today hanging with Gianna and Isaiah.  They all had ice cream after dinner.....and believe it or not, the last picture above was taken after dinner, but before ice cream!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to everyone that actually looks at this blog :)  The girls have had a fun and action-filled couple of weeks.  Their Nonno Gianni and Nonna Paola have been visiting for the past 3 weeks from Italy.  We have been to Palm Springs, the zoo, the aquarium, the Museum of Flight, Garden d'Lights, seen Santa, celebrated Hanukkah AND Christmas and the list goes on and on.  Here's to an active and fun 2012!

An Oldie But Goodie

Last June we had an amazing vacation to Lake Chelan with good friends.  I took a bunch of great photos which we thought had been lost on the camera.  Somehow we discovered they were all there tonight!  Above is my favorite picture of last Summer. 

Hugs

These days the girls are obsessed with hugging each other.  Too cute for words.

Thanksgiving Fun with Zio and Grandma

From pony rides to coloring, a trip to the zoo to getting hair braided by the master, Stella and Maia have had a fantastic Thanksgiving week with both Zio and Grandma.  The girls have a LOT to be thankful for!

New glasses

The inevitable finally happened:  Stella broke a pair of glasses.  Thanks to an amazing recommendation from our cousin Abby, Stella has brand new, beautiful purple (flexible!) glasses.  Did I mention that they are flexible?  Knocking on wood, but they seem amazing and dare I say.....indestructible? 

Maia and her Dolls

Maia is currently obsessed with baby dolls.  Between ones that we've had and a couple new ones she received for her birthday....she is in heaven.  Pure and utter heaven.
