Cullo Christmas

December 27, 2009 By Dawn Cullo Leave a Comment

We had a great time at Christmas spending the Eve with my family and the day with Lou’s family.

The highlight from Christmas Eve was visiting with BizNona as she now lives in a care home but my mom was able to ‘check her out’ for a few hours and bring her home.

The highlight from Christmas Morning is always watching Lily open her gifts.

The highlight from Christmas Day was watching Baby Wyatt’s reaction to getting Chicken Dance Elmo and seeing him take a few steps…Wyatt, not Elmo.

Gingerbread House, NOT!

December 20, 2009 By Dawn Cullo Leave a Comment

Last year I reluctantly made a gingerbread house with Lily and it came out ok, but it was a very frustrating process and partly because I didn’t totally read through ALL of the directions. This year Lily would NOT stop asking about making another one so I finally gave in and picked one up at Michael’s Craft store and this year Louis was going to help with this madness.

I made sure that Louis read through the directions so that I wouldn’t screw it up this year. He even made the icing, but that actually turned out to be a hard task and we should have just stopped there. Louis started to assemble the house and when he was putting on the roof the whole thing just fell apart and we said ‘ forget it ‘ and we each took pieces of the house and decorated them and at them. I think Lily liked this better than having to wait for the whole house to be finished.

So, next year when I say “no, let’s not get a gingerbread house” I think that there will be no arguing and we will just decorate Gingerbread Men cookies instead.

Wonderful Holiday Season

January 2, 2007 By Dawn Cullo Leave a Comment

So again has passed another Holiday season and Louis and I are exhausted. We moved before Thanksgiving and also had to do all of our Holiday fun (shopping, decorating and FaLalalalaing) while we were unpacking and making trips to IKEA and Home Depot. Hopefully next year things wont be so crazy and we can just enjoy the Holiday season instead of being so tired from unpacking and putting together bookcases and other fun things for the house.

Christmas Eve was at our house with the Winston’s.

Louis brinned a Turkey and it was very good.

Lily took bows off of the presents and put them in her hair.
