Milena, Tony, and Isabella came for the first time to see our new house. They stayed overnight, and we partied all night until 9pm (for the girls). They were all tired and fell right to sleep. We hit the mall early in the day, and we had an Oscar party at night. We really didn't get to see any of the movies that were nominated this year. We usually see them all, but this year...between Dave and I, we saw parts of Ratatouille, Enchanted, and No Country For Old Men, which ended up winning. The girls had fun on the mock red carpet with their celebrity gift bags. The feather boa was fun, but it was too itchy to wear around the neck. So aunt Lena found a way to tie it around the waist like a chicken. Uncle Tony was the big winner this year in the ballot category. He guessed 13 winners correctly...pretty good for not seeing many of the movies. He got to take home his oscar trophy. The next morning was rough after all that partying. We fed the girls breakfast, watched Veggie Tales, did playdough, played Hide and Seek, and ate jello jigglers before lunch. Then it was time for Bella and Gillian to take a nap so Tony and Lena left to go back to Staten Island. Here are the highlights:
