Christmas Time!

Holy cow! Another overwhelming onslaught of generosity directed at Santino this holiday season. Thank you all so much!

sometimes he's great, sometimes he's possessed!

Well, it was a busy week indeed. Let's see, on Sunday (12/23) the first round of grandparents arrived in the form of Bob & Barb. They were kind enough to babysit so that Lisa & I could run out for a quick dinner at a local Italian cafe. Then, Uncle Kofi & Aunt Hillary arrived and we all went to Chris & Jim's (second set of grandparents) for dinner on Christmas Eve with the rest of the family on that side plus a few friends. I don't seem to have any pictures from Christmas Eve, so please email me if you do so I can pay respects properly!

Sonny & Mom got matching sock-monkey slippers from Santa

Christmas Day was spent at home with the aforementioned Donnelly gang. After Christmas, we were treated to a night alone before Bill & Joni arrived from Michigan (third set of grandparents). This was the fist time Santino got to meet them, so he was on his best behavior and got a little more time in his favorite Christmas outfit. On Friday night, Aunt Sal & Uncle Damion graced us with their presence (and presents!) for dinner and Christmas was celebrated yet again.

Finally, Uncle Bruce & Aunt Al came to meet Sonny on Sunday afternoon. He was delighted to make such cool new friends and now gets to dress like a bear at bathtime!

Sonny's New Years resolution for 2008 is to learn a little more about life, parents, and spend more time outdoors!

More to come soon - it was all the self-control I could muster not to include about a dozen more pictures!
