Once Upon A Dream

Gabby's school parade and party were very fun and full of really interesting and cool costumes.

It is November, and soccer season is coming to an end. The girls finished their last games, and they got their awards. Here are a few pictures of them with some soccer friends....

Action shots and award receiving shots...

Fall Fest at school, Trick or Treat Street, Fall Fest at Cal Tab, and the Town Parade....

On top of all the fun Halloween activities, Gabby had a swim meet that took place before the partying began. She is really enjoying the swim team. The coach went out and got jack-o-lantern swim caps for all the kids. They exchanged candy at the end of the meet. Here are a few shots of her swimming the backstroke and one relay. She is the one that looks like a little peanut.

Gabby participated in Poetry in the Park at her school earlier this month. This year she wrote and recited her own poem. Here is a picture and the poem.....

Doll Making
By Gabriella Pizzolo

Ten fingers, ten toes,
Two eyebrows, one nose,
Two ears, some skin,
Two arms, two shins,
Two eyes, and one chin

My gosh, so much to imagine.
All the little body parts,
That is what happens to dolls in carts.
All the rubber body parts....

Ten fingers, ten toes,
Two eyebrows, one nose,
Two ears, some skin,
Two arms, two shins,
Two eyes, and one chin

WOW!
Two legs, two ankles,
No triangles.
A doll body - so nice....
On the toy shelf,
What's the price?

Gillian is in a new dance class. She has been enjoying tap and ballet with Ms. Kyle.

We did already have a very light dusting. It was pretty wonderful.

Night time hay ride, flashlights, bonfires, yummy food like s'mores, cake and a lot of giggles...What a great idea for a birthday party!

I have no idea what these two were up to as I watched them play outside, but it looked very interesting....?????

Especially for Aunt Mandy.....

Somebody in this house turned 4 1/2 on November 14th! Congrats Gilli....we celebrated with the Pizzolo traditional 1/2 Birthday Brownies.....mmmmmm!

Gabby will be playing the part of a small mouse in this production......We are so excited!

We spent Thanksgiving at Meme and Papa's house in western PA. It was so much fun seeing everyone and having all the cousins together. The girls really enjoyed Meme and Papa's new hot tub. Unfortunately there was a little sickness making its way through the household....it wouldn't be a get together without it. Gabby was feeling a little down because of some of her injuries that she is dealing with, so Aunt Mandy cheered her up by giving her a full body cast. Also, Nonnie came all the way from Boston to spend the holiday with us....xoxoxoxoxo!

Here are a couple of cards that we almost used this year....you won't be seeing these in the mail.....
