Kirra's Thanksgiving Preformance

Here's a cute picture of Kirra at the 1st grade Thanksgiving preformance. They all did a great job, singing songs like Mr Turkey BIG and FAT, Over the River, and A Thanksgiving Blessing.

Vicenza Nevicare

In the 4 years that we lived in Italy it snowed TWICE...that's it...TWICE!!! We had fun playing in the snow, but in the back of our minds we wished that we wouldn't have lost a day of clearing because it decided to snow three days before we left.
Ms. Ginn's class went outside and had a snowball fight..I just happened to catch this after they refused to help us at the Golden Lion :)
Kirra had so much fun making the snowman, she decided to make another one! :)

Italia Bambino

I took this picture of the kids outside of our house the last day we were there. The kids really do miss their Italian friends.

Switzerland

Here are some pictures of our last trip to Switzerland. I'm trying not to think too much about this post, because I miss these people tremendously, and I dont wanna cry.

Last trip to Venice

We decided that before we left Vicenza we should take one last trip to Venice.

My kids LOVE Venice! Here they are waiting for our Train.

We went to the island of Murano.

The kids were excited to get on the boat.

Dave Wagner and Dave Christansen came with us - so here's all of the boys

We watched a demonstration on how they make the glass... I thought the entry was beautiful.

We had fun checking out the glass store. I love this picture of Christian

Kirra liked the birdies.

After Murano we went back to have lunch and hang out in San Marco square.

The kids had a ride on the Lion

And we were attacked by the pigeons for the last time

Christian actually didn't freak out this time!

One last family photo :)

Quick trip to Asiago

Chad woke up this Sunday and decided that
after church we were going to go up to Asiago for a picnic.
Kirra and Christian wanted to ride this train...
but instead we just took pictures by it.

Chad loves being up in the mountains!

Kirra is MY girl! :)

Christian is trying to be like the cow in the background...MOO!

Fun on the playground

After lunch and our little walk, we went to the War Memorial

What a great place to go, so close to Veterans Day

He was impressed

Taking a little break

One last pose...

Snow Day!

Yea!!! Finally a chance to just sit and blog. Chad just left to check out the Rec Center, and the kids are checking out all of Grandmas toys. So I am going to BLOG!!! You all know that I can't just start with the current stuff... so here is where I left off...

Everyone laughed about Kirra having a pet named Hopper...so I caught her out in the yard on Saturday (after I posted my tagged blog) playing with her friend...



There's the proof!!!

It is a winter wonderland outside... I got to look out the window for a few seconds while my picture downloaded and watch the snowfall...so beautiful... and did you see... SECONDS... it only took a few seconds... I LOVE high speed internet!!! :)
