Christmas morning 2011

The day had finally come and it seems everyone had been good this year!  Richie got new skies and the Beyblades and umbrella he wanted.  He also got a signed picture of Tim Thomas holding the Stanley Cup.  Angela got her Dora Scooter, a big girl clock and a new hat she kept on all day.  We bought the kids a karaoke machine which was also a hit and already has had a lot of use.  Also, Uncle Eddie and Kevin got another new flat screen TV.  THIS time we hope they use it upstairs.  And the "big" boys all got the hockey jerseys they wanted.  I know Christmas isn't about the presents, but it is hard to say it isn't a big part for the kids.  The look on the their faces is priceless!  I do feel like they love spending so much time with family, but they also work hard to be good to get the new toys they want.

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. ...
