New Year's Eve


                            We stayed up to celebrate the New Year...

                                        ...playing Settler's of Catan.

Samantha made it until 11:30 but couldn't keep her eyes open.  Every year she's the first to fall asleep.  We did wake her up at midnight to give her a kiss for the New Year and carry her to bed.






The boys at the park playing with their new toys.



The day after Christmas 2014 Jesolo and Venice

 
Sand Nativity in Jesolo
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

This is the line we just missed.  We saw the sand nativities and then went to eat lunch.  After lunch, we walk out the doors to find this line waiting to go in and see the sand sculptures.   Glad we missed that one.
 




During lunch we found this cool looking turtle banjo.  Didn't get to hear it play but thought it was a neat design to the banjo.


 
Learning to love Italian hot chocolate.
 

He is such a good daddy!  Ice skating in Venice just after Christmas.  First time to ice skate for this little guy.















 
I needed a break so I went and bought some of that good Italian hot spiced wine, Vin Brule'.
 

Venice and its stairs...but these ones are gorgeous. 







                                How would you like to wear this dress?


 
 
 


 
 This guy was worn out.  It was late by the time we left Venice, and we were gone all day.  He likes to try and keep up with the older and oldest ones, but he was completely worn out.
