Thank you DiGrande Family for one of the best Christmas parties ever.  I don't know what it was, the fact that all of the kids are older and more fun, or that we are older and enjoy being around each other more, the fact that everyone loosened up and had a drink, (not necessarily in that order) or just a combination of each, but what ever it was, it worked.

So, thanks dad for the food, thanks Mario for being such a great host, and thanks to everyone else for making this party one to remember.

By the way, did anyone else wake up with a sore throat on Christmas Day?  Or am I just out of practice of having to scream at the top of my lungs for four hours just to be heard. :)

It is Lucia's Birthday today June 5th.
