New Year's Eve

We bid farewell to 2012 with some of our family and friends. All together there were 7 couples and 20 well behaved children! A good time was had by all! 

Grace was so excited that we were going to a party at "Meghan's house," and our little sweethearts were excited to play with some of their cousins.

Grace and Kate looked so cute in their matching ballerina tutu's! Kate was ready to party tonight. She ate, waved, and blew kisses like it was her job!

Thank you Long's for hosting such a great party!

Swim Party

Grace was so happy to swim at Hudson's 5th birthday party today! She's really looking forward to being on the swim team this Summer!

Winter Wonderland

What a wonderful day! Before it began to snow, we went to Brianna's birthday party! Grace and Andrew had fun playing with their friends from Lollipop School.

Once it started to snow, Grace couldn't wait to get out there with Daddy! They made snow angels, had snowball fights, and enjoyed some quality time together!

As soon as Andrew woke up from his nap, he wanted to play too! So, I bundled up my babies!

Kate looked like a scene from "A Christmas Story." She was so bundled up that she had a hard time keeping her arms down.

We were so happy so excited to see Hadley, and we decided to make a snowman together!

After we finished building Frosty, we headed in for some hot chocolate with marshmallows. Then we were off to The Shannon Rose for a family date night! It's been really nice having Dan home this past week!

"It's Christmas Time in the City"

New York City at Christmas time is magical, and Danny and I were so excited to spend a day there with Grace and Andrew. We had a wonderful time at Radio City Music Hall's Christmas Spectacular. Grace was happy to pose with a Rockette, Andrew was mesmerized by Santa, and we all enjoyed wearing our 3-D glasses for portions of the show! We visited Dan's office, had a delicious lunch at Milos, shopped at American Girl Place, and gazed at the world's most beautiful Christmas tree! While we made memories in NYC, Katherine enjoyed a leisurely Ladies Day with LuLu. When we arrived home, we were excited to tell them about our adventures!

"City sidewalks, Busy sidewalks, Dressed in holiday style."

"In the air... There's a feeling... of Christmas"

Future Rockette?

The human Nativity at the end of the show is always spectacular!

Grace and Andrew were so happy to visit "Daddy's workshop."

We had a delicious lunch at Milos in Midtown. Grace chose to pose like the Statue of Liberty in this photo.

I had such a handsome date!

Grace and Andrew love making artwork when we're at restaurants!

Grace and Molly were so happy to visit American Girl Place.  Molly even received a gift... her first bathing suit!

Our trip to NYC wouldn't have been complete without a visit to the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center.

We wore them out!

Christmas with the Kleins

I love all of our Christmas traditions, but I especially love that we have back-to-back celebrations every year! Grace, Andrew, and Katherine had a blast playing with all of their Klein cousins this morning. 

The Klein/Colonna cousins... all 11 of them!!!

LuLu and Pop with all their little sweethearts

Our children were so excited to open another round of presents!

The girls had so much fun playing with their American Girl dolls!

Big Kids

Christmas Continues...

Dan and I agree that this was the best Christmas of our lives! The joy that we saw on our children's faces was priceless, and our day was filled with memorable surprises! We feel so blessed to be the parents of our 3 most cherished gifts!

Santa came to Nana and Grandpa's house, too!

Look at the beautiful candy Christmas tree that Aunt Dana made for her favorite kiddies!

"All I Want for Christmas is You!" 

Presents from Aunt Dana always look too pretty to unwrap!

Nana's favorite gift came in this box!

Can you tell how much she liked her Katy Perry CD?

Andrew was so excited to give Nana the Cinderella ornament that he picked out for her!

When Andrew opened his Switch and Go Dino he said, "This is JUST what I wanted!"

DORRRRRRRRRRRA! "You know she's watched too many Dora episodes when she starts to roll her r's!"

AND the winner of the most outfit changes today goes to... MOLLY!
