Crisafulli Family Christmas Party

Opening presents at the gift exchange.  The kids all draw names around Thanksgiving and buy presents for each other.  

All the kids in their annual Christmas picture. (though it did not feel like December, 70 degrees, etc...Today, though, icy and ffrr-freezin with possible ice tomorrow).  Gotta love the Texas weather.

Sarah was NOT a happy camper.  

Amanda holding, Chris and Suzie's new baby girl, Abigail.  Check out all her beautiful, dark hair.  Oh! and congrats to Amanda and Chris, they're expecting a baby of their own soon.

Julie, Gina, and my dad, chillin' reading a Christmas book.

Becca's Christmas Choir Concert

I caught them mid-laugh, mid-scowl, and mid-exclamation. Scenario..."Why don't you take a picture in front of the Christmas tree?!?"  I love Antonio's scowl at that!! 

Becca and mom, Kimberly

Becca and her friend, Angela

We all know how much Antonio loves a good picture....He just "makes" the picture, doesn't he? Aw well, we love him anyways.

Becca and TJ after the concert.  

Concentrating hard on singing the right note.  It sounded perfect!

Preparing to sing.  Isn't Becca pretty?!?

BELLA!!

Look at my beautiful, new dog, Bella.  For those of you who don't know, Angel got out of the backyard on the 4th of July.  We don't know if the fireworks spooked her or what, but we haven't seen her since.  We tried posters, online searches, as well as checking the pound for weeks afterwards, but still no luck.  Anyways, Bella was abandoned in Glen Rose near Antonio's parents.  She's a little skittish, but is soooo sweet.  

She and the cat, (Antonio's dubbed him Minion) play constantly.  So much so, that it is a good thing the cat has his front claws removed.  

She looks innocent and sweet here, but she is full of energy.  She runs laps around the backyard and even the house sometimes.  She would make a good herder or obstacle course dog.
