A Few December Pictures

An update in pictures...A few of our favorite December moments in Italy:

Kevin's birthday: Our first "kid-free" night out together!  We went to an awesome little restaurant that is exactly what you'd picture if an Italian restaurant were featured in a cheesy romantic movie.  Except it wasn't cheesy at all!  La Cantinella...we'll be back!



After dinner, we walked around the city center of Torino...


And cozied up in a caffe' for a late-night "special" coffee and tea...



Wine Tasting: The Stones plus Dominick and a couple extra kids!



How do you entertain little ones during a wine tasting?  Bring some random things and set them loose on the floor!






Zoey's 4th Birthday: Birthday Breakfast with the Pulis and Guscott Families!  We hosted a delicious breakfast of french toast, bacon, and fruit for our closest friends here in Italy and it was just perfect!  We decided to keep it low-key and opted out of the the traditional over-the-top, invite-the-whole-class, sugar-filled, birthday extravaganza that seems to be typical for Italian kids.  Instead, we had a great morning filled with friends, love, and laughter...

We started with breakfast...



We opened presents...




And we even squeezed in a few crafts!  We painted snowflake ornaments for our Christmas trees...


And made jars of reindeer food to sprinkle on our driveways on Christmas Eve!





It was a perfect way to celebrate Zoey's 4th birthday in Italy!
