Anthony was so not happy about this photo session. Let the holiday festivities begin...
My shopping is done, the gifts are wrapped and I'm just finishing up making eggnog-panettone bread pudding for Christmas morning. I've never had it before, but the other day I was watching Racheal Ray's show and she was making it, the idea to make it myself came when I was over at my sister Rachael's house and I saw a gift box of panettone bread. I asked her what she was going to do with it, and she said she didn't really like it, but I'm guessing she's never really tried it. It looks sort of like fruit cake only more bread tasting. So I took the bread home with me and now the sink is full of dirty dishes and the bread pudding is baking in the oven.
In just a few short hours we will start our round of visits. 2 tonight, 3 tomorrow and then the day after Christmas we are off to New York to visit my mom and step dad and 2 other siblings and their families. As my mom so proudly pointed out, there will be a total of 20 people in her house. This excites her and only her, the rest of us just go along with it to please her, but we are excited to see everyone. The 10 hour drive with a 3 week old baby should be an experience as well. We are going to have my niece Kristen ride with us so she can help Anthony when he loses his pacifier. Yes this means I decided to keep the pacifier. Even though it is difficult to keep in his mouth at night, it is still more helpful than not.
Merry Christmas to all, and Happy New Years!

He is so cute. I can hardly wait to get to hold him and spoil him. I have your room all ready for you with rocking chair and rocking ottoman too. I also have a small baby crib in your room. I'm so excited about everyone coming. I hope your trip is pleasant and Anthony is a good little baby. The roads in New York should like they should be in good shape for Wednesday. Merry Christmas. Love, mom
Can't wait to see you guys.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Gota go play "Santa" now...
Have a great Christmas! I hope you guys have an easy (safe!) trip.
Enjoy your first Christmas as a family. Have fun visiting family tomorrow starting with Rachel's early in the AM and ending in NY at your mother's.
Hopefully Anthony's present to you will be that he'll be a better sleeper.
Love the T-shirt on him! :)
I'm kind of jealous that you got your cooking all done ahead of time. Guess I better get off the computer and get going! See you in a couple hours.
Other than Leah, of course, little anthony is the only other baby I know right now that looks as good in pictures as he does in real life. He is soo photogenic! He could be a newborn model. How many babies are worthy?...sorry people, not many.
Hi Lori, I have to say that your baby is just adorable. I wish that I could see him in person and touch his little cheeks. Thanx for leaving a comment on my blog. I love blogging. I check your moms everyday along with all of you girls. It is so much fun. I carry my camera with me each day so I can have something for my blog. I guess you could say that I am obsessed with blogging.
Hope you all have a great time at in NY. Would love to be able to see all of you again. Have a wonderful time.
What a great picture - even if he wasn't being cooperative!
Hope you had a safe trip, a Merry Chrsitmas and and Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas Lori!
Hope you all had a great time.
Kathy
