Christmas with the Italians

Wow, it's been a busy week! Miss Autumn had a sore throat, I finished pretty much all my shopping, and this weekend we went to Birmingham to visit with Mike's extended family. It was, as always, a blast. If nothing else, it's worth the drive for the people watching. Ha!

One of Mike's cousins turned 40 yesterday so, of course, there was cake:


And the ritual defacement decorating of the birthday person's vehicle:


Autumn did a lot of snuggling and watching. I think the crowd freaked her out a little. :)




Here are Brad and Mr. Tyler. Tyler was little less shy than Autumn was.


Tyler and Autumn were pretty cute together. By Sunday night, Autumn was trying to rub his tummy. Which, as many of you know, means he's "in the club." :P


Well, happy Christmas week everyone! I'm sure we'll be posting again soon. Papa D and Mama Lainey are having more fun than the kids are preparing for Christmas so there will be many cute moments to share.
