After weeks of preparations, decorations, gifts to make and a flu bug making it's rounds through the family, we ended up having a very sweet and lovely holiday up north with my husband's family. I thought I'd share a few photos of our holiday celebration...The boys made a gingerbread train with their beloved Nonniey and Auntie H
A very adorable gift on Christmas morning!
Nico gives me the gift of his gorgeous, happy smile
Roxie the sweet-faced pug who I wanted to sneak home with us
The day after Christmas we went up to Lassen National Park where the boys played in the snow for the very first time!

... and my attempt to pose the boys for a Christmas photo.
Matteo and Nico are pretending to be Christmas monsters while Luca stares at something shiny in the distance ;}
I'm hoping that all of you had joyous celebrations with your loved ones! I'll be back in a few days to share photos of the homemade goodness that found its way to our home this holiday season, but until then I'm wishing you a happy and healthy New Year!
Much Love,
Marina

Great photos! Looks like the snow was a blast. How long is that drive?

Beautiful, the boys look gorgeous! One day I'd like to have a white Christmas, it's hard to be quite as festive here in Summer!
Yay for sledding and snow!
I wanted to let you know that Isaac loves the picture you sent of the three boys and kept asking me what their names are. One day we'll get them all together.
Have a happy new year!
Marina, your little ones are so very sweet!

Oh, your boys made me smile:-) I have three boys also and I had that exact same moment where I tried to take a family photo. LOL! Not even a family photo, just the boys. I never got my Christmas photo and ended up sending out a video card instead! Here's a link just in case you want to take a look: http://mommychick.typepad.com/mommychick/2009/12/merry-christmas-from-my-family-to-yours.html
