Christmas

Some shots from this year's Christmas celebrations with the Nocerino's and Catalano's. We all got wonderful gifts from everyone involved. Juliana was very spoiled this year!!

Impressive...carrying three at once!

The best gift we got all year!

Christmas Morning

Yummmmm...what does Uncle Michael have?

The Elf and Santa watching Elf.

Christmas/Six Month Old Pictures

Our favorite photographer, Jessie from Patken, took some awesome shots of Juliana (and Oreo, too) for this year's Christmas card. Juliana was also turning six months right around the same time, so we did some non-holiday shots as well. Thanks Jessie (and our lighting guy, Uncle Tom) for the awesome pictures.

I know I am biased, but look at those eyes...how can you not want to eat this little girl up!?!?

Newport, RI

A few weeks ago we took a trip to Newport, RI with the Catalano's and the Toms. We went to see the Newport Mansions all decorated for the holiday season. It was a little chilly but we had a great time and enjoyed the quaint little town. It ended up being a beautiful, sunny day on Saturday to enjoy walking around the mansions.

Who needs thumbs when I can do this!

Trimming the Tree

Last night we put up our Christmas tree. We even got a little help from Juliana.

That was hard work...I'm pooped!

This was much easier than at the studio for their Christmas picture!

Enjoying some tubby time!

Thanksgiving in FL

This year we all went to FL for Thanksgiving. The weather was not so great, but we still have a great time. It was nice to get to see Joe's extended family one night and Juliana got to experience lots of "firsts" while we were there. She not only turned 6 months old, but she cut her first two teeth and she tried "real" food for the first time. She enjoyed having some sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving and even got a taste of her first turkey leg! She also got to meet Santa. She didn't cry, but she wasn't super happy about the experience either. She was more mesmerized by his white furry coat. :-) Enjoy!

Yum! Sweet Potatoes!

Hmmmm...what is this?

Yuck! I don't like it!

Honors Haven/Halloween

This past week we had the annual Fire District's Conference up in Ellenville, NY. Sadly, the Nevele closed a few years ago, but they turned the old Fallsview Hotel into the Honors Haven Resort and Spa. It is really nice now for anyone looking for a quick upstate getaway.

All ready for Halloween!

Eating cereal for the first time. It went pretty well. She seems to like it and opens her mouth looking for more with each bite. Pretty soon we will be onto fruits and veggies.

We came home from our trip just in time for the Rag-a-Muffin Parade with the North Massapequa Fire District. The parade has been going on for 34 years (yes we marched when we were this little too) and ends with some prizes and hot dogs for all to enjoy. We met up with the Vitales, Espos, Cowans, Needhams, Gebhardts and Tammy. What a fun day!
