PICTURE WITH SANTA!!!

I can't even believe it......my kids sat on Santa's lap!!!  This is amazing.  Up until now they have chosen to make sure he was NOT in the same room as them never mind go near him.  Richie went so far as to say, I would prefer no presents.  The only other picture I have to date with Santa was when Richie was 11 months old and he couldn't walk.  He screamed when I put him on Santa's lap, but I let it go long enough so that I could get a picture.  Since then I have not been able to get him/them close enough to even think about a picture. 
In a way you can't blame him.  This man flies through the air, squeezes down your chimney and prances around your house while you are sleeping.  To top it off I want him to sit on his lap and tell him what he wants for Christmas.  NO WAY....until today! The other problem is that he decided (already.....at 3!) that there are real Santa's and fake Santa's.  As you can tell from the picture (he was a good one), Richie walked in and decided this guy was the real deal.  Not sure where he mustered the courage from, but he went in slapped him five AND told him what he wanted.  We still have to write Santa a letter because Angela didn't tell him what she wanted and Richie forgot to tell Santa he also wants a broom......

Singing the ABC's

So I finally got it on camera although it isn't his best effort. For those of you who have been around us recently, you know how Rich sings the ABC song ALL DAY LONG. It is obviously his favorite song and he is really good at it! In this video he misses a lot of the letters because he does not want to be taped. But he literally knows all the letters and the ending. I guess he was developing his verbal skills when he was sitting on his bottom for all those months NOT crawling. This was taken this morning and I had to bribe his with a cookie. It was only 9 am, but it was the only way I could get him to do it for the camera.

An absolutely beautiful day for my Angela Jane!  She looked absolutely gorgeous and she couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.  She celebrated with her family and then with friends who feel like family now.  We are truly blessed! Brunch with family at Monica's and then a bbq at the Crocini's. How cute is she with her bbf's?!?!?!

Celtics courtside!!

Image
At 5:00 Chris got a call from a customer (who happens to live across the street), asking if we wanted his seats for the pre-season Celtics game tonight.  Of course we do!  Yes, it was the first game of the World Series and the Red Sox were playing, but you still can't beat going to a game. Chris had a feeling this guy had good seats, but when we arrived at Row A the kids were ecstatic.  Courtside, directly behind the players seats!  It was so awesome!   They were just feet from us and they were huge.  We could hear the plays they were going to run and then watched them run them.  Angela didn't love the seats because we were almost too close and she had trouble seeing over the 6'7" players!  The game was on ESPN and we were so close to the court that we were also on TV a lot.  My Mom was able to tell me what we were wearing because she watched it.  I found a quick link below.  You can see how close we were. ...
