Buon Natale

Merry Christmas everyone, or at least the day after. I hope everyone had a great holiday with loved ones...I sure did. My parents and brother are in town and yesterday they went to Pisa for the day while I waited to go to the airport and collect my lost bag, to no avail due to the holiday. So, while my family was away the boys downstairs, Roxanne, Jen, Sarah and I had a potluck at the boys' place like a little family. There was so much food we didn't know what to do with it except stuff our faces because it was so delicious. I think I can confidently say we have mastered the art of the potluck. After allowing time to digest the feast, we did a white elephant with Augie, Adrianna, and Louis joining us. I picked #10 out of 11, so I ended up with the gift I wanted...a roulette shot game (perfect for me). We couldn't wait and immediately put the game to good use furthering our Christmas celebration. Soon after, Matias and the rest of the boys were so eager to use their mini soccer goal Matias won in the gift exchange and rushed over to the croch (Santa Croce) for some natale soccer.

Adrianna won fireworks and of course we dabbled with those a little as well. Definitely a Christmas to remember in Firenze.
