Day 106

This is the tree skirt my mom made for John and I. We have had this tree skirt since our first house in Omaha and it has been under our big tree every year. All our others are store bought, so this one is special. Mom and daddy gave us the singing snowmen too. :)

Day 105

When we were in Rome Lainie was standing on the street and up her dress went. It took her by surprise for a minute but then she thought it was so funny. So did we.

Notice her broken arm.

All my treasured Christmas decorations that I have been given over the years. My very first Christmas decoration gift from John is the kissing Santa and Mrs. Clause. It's on the bottom shelf of the bakers rack. The Nativity Manger was a gift from my mom and dad. I don't know if you can see the little red ceramic tennis shoes but those were given to me by Timothy's aunt his first Christmas and she wrote a message on the bottom (very top shelf). Timothy's grandmother gave me the Santa praying over Jesus. 

All very special gifts.

Day 102

My grandfather and his siblings. My grandpa, Guiseppe is on the far right. They were born in Italy but were raised in the United States. (Uncle Chuck, Uncle Sam, Uncle Tony and Aunt Rose.) When They moved to the United States my great-grandmother, nana was not very happy about this. She refused to learn the English language. The only word she learned was hello. The phone would ring and she say "hello" and all Italian after that. My dad said she was amazing Italian cook. I can imagine after visiting Italy. We actually got to visit the area my family was from. Carlentini just outside of Sicily. Beautiful area.

It has been a tradition that each year John gets me a Santa. I really enjoy my collection and look forward to it each year. Here are few of my Santa's that I have received over the years. Thomas and J have also given me a Santa.
