The Lombardo Family: December 2011

Fireman Vincents 3rd Birthday

Becky did an amazing job organizing Vincent's 3rd birthday party! Saturday morning we headed over to the Calagna Fire Station for a pancake breakfast, a visit from the fire truck, games, activities and more! Tay had a really fun time running up and down the street, but when the truck showed up he got a little scared so in the ergo he went. Thank you for the wonderful party, we had a great time celebrating!

Holly's December Wish Finally Came True....

I got so see it "snow" on Main Street! I have been asking Gus to take me to see the "snow" at Disneyland for a few years now and after we had pics with Santa we cruised on down to Disney to ride Small World, see the parade and enjoy the "snow". If you've ever seen it, you will understand why I say "snow" ...it was bubbles. Great effect, great idea, good execution, false advertising :(. We still had a really good time together in the cold, can't wait to go back and see the fireworks show!

Kaylee's 3rd Birthday

After arriving home from San Diego we had a quick visit with Maiza and her girls and then we were off to The Santa Ana Zoo for Kaylee’s 3rd birthday! We had never been there before so it was really fun to see how beautiful it was and all the fun activities for kids. When Tay’s a little older we will go back and do the rides etc but for now he loved walking around and playing with all the kids! He fell once in the dirt and got his 1st scrapes on his knees, Gus said “First of many, now he’s a real boy!”

Thanksgiving 2011

We had a great get away in San Diego for Thanksgiving! It started out really rough on the car ride down with Tay getting really sick, we aren’t sure if he had the flu or if he was carsick but it wasn’t pretty. Thursday we got off to a slow start and cooked and set the table and then ate ate ate! Tay had a tray full of food and didn’t eat 1 bite, I knew he didn’t feel good :(. That evening we played Sequence and Gus and I LOST but lots of laughs were had by all. Friday was a lazy day with a walk on the trail and then we went out with Ray and Christi that night to the Gas Lamp district for some dancing! Saturday we celebrated my Dad’s 65th birthday by taking a family trip to Costco (uh huh – that’s what we did) and then home for chili dogs and Oscar (our favorite movie!). It was so much fen to just relax and hang out with the family, give thanks for all our blessings and celebrate my dad!
