Christmas Eve was a very busy one at Gramma and Grandpa's house. It started out bright and early with cooking. Then Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Joseph came over bearing gifts. We ate a huge, delicious lunch and then Grandpa Joseph taught the boys how to make cannolis.
The boys were jumping around with anticipation just waiting for the Man in Red to make an appearance. The stockings were hung, the cookies and milk were waiting and there were even some carrots for the reindeer. All was ready for the big day.......

There are some major pluses when marrying into an Italian family. One being the WONDERFUL food. Josh and Nick made homemade pasta. Gramma and Grandpa made sauce, meatballs and brassoli (pounded steak stuffed with dressing). Plus, Gramma famous cookies
and Grandpa Joseph's cannoli.

The boys opened gifts from Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Joseph. A precursor to the big day....just warming up. Thank you Grandma Nancy and GJ. You made the boys so happy! Not just with presents but with you all being here.

The kids table. Notice Grady opted for yogurt and grapes instead of the mouth watering fare we were dining on.

We were all ready to chow down.

The Yardley Scalas....all in a food coma after dinner.

Grandpa Joseph began to make cannolis

Soon the little ones surrounded him. The boys had a great time helping him out.

Myles enjoyed Grandma Nancy feeding him.

A little piece of heaven!
So fun...and that food looks DELICIOUS!!!!!
