Pietro's Birthday

This is a little after Tday. I remember making hand-turkeys in kindergarden. The teacher painted each finger a different color. That was my very favorite project the whole year. I wanted to try it with Amedeo. He really liked it! I'm glad because he has been anti-art lately.


And December 5th is Pietro's birthday. Traditionally, this is the first day we get any signifigant snow fall. We got a few flurries, but nothing good like in years past.
As you can see, he is VERY excited about his present.


Grandpa and Pietro playing tennis together. Pietro has been staying up very late playing his games...I am glad it's a hit, but I hope he is getting enough sleep.


I made a chocolate pudding cake for dessert. It has cake on the top and the pudding on the bottom. It goes together in a crazy way...you make a batter and put it in the bottom, then you sprinkle dry ingredients on top. Then you pour coffee all over, making what looks like a giant cake-y disaster. It was delicious. I would make it again and again.


One very happy Pietro.
