Merry Christmas!

We were very lucky that Anthony had 6 days around Christmas off this year (especially since he worked on the holiday the last two years) to celebrate Max's first Christmas as a family! We took the opportunity to spend Christmas with our families in Washington and Erie, PA. Max loved ripping open the paper on his MANY presents, and was mostly a little angel during the days (nights were another story, however!). He got to visit with both grandma's, his grandpa, and many cousins, aunts, and uncles on both sides. He was also introduced to the extended Petruso clan at the annual Italian Holiday Feast hosted by Aunt Joan and Uncle Pete. It was a great trip!

O Christmas Tree!

15 days until Christmas!

We've been busy preparing for the holidays here in the Petruso household! Cookies are being baked by the dozen, cards are ordered, and the tree is up and decorated with a few gifts underneath. We still have many things yet to do, but its wonderful to get to celebrate Max's first Christmas this year. Grammy Sandy was up this weekend to help Christmas shop, and little man might have gotten the chance to meet Santa! Pics to come, but for now, Christmas card teaser pics!

Happy half birthday, Max! It feels like yesterday that you were born. I can't believe we've been loving and taking care of you for half a year already! We've gotten to watch you grow from a little sleepy slug, to the rambunctious, active, loving baby that you are today. We love you, son!
