Christmas!

I finally got an icing recipe that works (after 2 fails, one this year and one last year).  

Sam was on NORAD's Santa Tracker website all Christmas Eve Day and Night, alerting us to Santa's whereabouts.

Elyse is now the mother to twins!

Ben has a sock monkey thing going this year. 

Elyse wanted to get Mara a new porcelein doll, since hers burned up in the fire. Sweet.

Sam is now the master hot chocolate maker in our house. He loves making it for us. 

Santa brought a drumset for all the boys.....really?  Where are the earplugs?

The traditional making of the gnocchis has begun.
