Holiday Happenings...

We dove right into the holidays this year with trips to a model train show, the Festival of Trees where we saw Santa, and out to get our tree (post soon to come!).  We've done lots of decorating and shopping!  The house is lit up like the proverbial, yes, Christmas tree, and we are all having lots of fun!!

 My own Clark Griswold...just love him.

 

We always spend an evening at the local Festival of Trees.  It is an Antonetti family tradition!  Will spent the entire time, minus the five minutes he spent unsure of sitting on Santa's lap, watching the model trains.  Ella loved watching Santa with the other kids, but wanted no part of him otherwise!  Will told him all about what he wants for Christmas, a robot and train table,  and was really glad that Santa told him to put out cookies and milk.  Will responded, "Since you get hungry and thirsty from all that delivering. I'll put carrots out for the reindeer, too!".  It was hilarious. 

 

 

 

 Trying desperately to get a picture with my grandma.  This is the best. You should see the other attempts...

Hitting the holidays running...

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year in Connecticut.  We were able to spend the entire week with Joe's family.  It was so nice to have an extended visit!  The kiddos had a blast!
