Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday

25 Dec

On this blessed Christmas day, I am thankful that my ancestors came from Italy and that their  traditions are in my blood; that my parents were born America, and that they continued the traditions plus added new ones; and that throughout the year, I am able to celebrate, continue and expand these family traditions surrounded by the love of family and friends.

To family and extended family members, (pictured and not), who bring so much joy to my life, and to friends we have made over the years who have enhanced our lives in so many ways,  I wish you a most Blessed and Merry Christmas!

And to our beautiful and amazing daughter Benita, I wish you a very Happy Birthday! And ditto to my super nephew Will!
