Merry Christmas 2011

We celebrated Christmas in the Burgh this year. We had been looking forward to it - seeing family and friends, continuing traditions, relaxing, and getting to see Colton open up his presents. It was a fun visit.

We enjoyed Christmas eve with my mom's side of the family. We had fried shrimp and homemade raviolis - a tradition continued by my cousin Kathy. We were able to have it at a bar, now called, Someone Else's Bar. It used to be the bar owned by my cousins. It was fun to be back there watching the kids play like we used to play when we were younger.

Colton had lots of presents this year. Santa brought him one special gift - the drum above. He seems to enjoy music, so Santa wanted to encourage his exploration of making music. Colton was showered with gifts from his grandparents, family, and friends. He says, "tink tink." Translation - thank you.
