Good Monday to you all! Events have gone whizzing past in such a way these days, I feel the need to document more about the past two weeks, just to get everyone up-to-speed on the latest and greatest here in Gasperini-Ville! As I mentioned in a previous post, we had such a fun time visiting with Santa at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts two Sundays ago. We all met up after church for coffee and then headed to the museum for the fun to be had...
The best part about it--there were no lines! Since we boast a Mimi docent (she's the coolest and is always teaching us about art!!), we had special ins at the Santa brunch and celebration. The Santa there was also really legit and seemed to enjoy cheering children and participating in the magic of Christmas.
The funny part about it, though, was that GG and I got chastised by the dear man! Apparently, we were too involved and "encouraging" and didn't allow Santa to do his work. We found this initially humorous, but later said sadly to one another, "We got yelled at by Santa!" LOL! Don't worry, Santa, in the future we will try to let you do your thing with little involvement. :)
T, enjoying the brunch
Could two little boys be more excited?

Approaching with trepidation
Thanks to the candy cane bribes, M nestled in finally.
Santa gives GG and I a talking to...
And poor J missed Santa due to his nap, but oh well, there are plenty of years to come!
After Santa, we mosied around to various craft rooms where the boys had the opportunity to make mini votive candles and jingle bell stamp stockings. Too cute!! Thanks to Mimi and Papa for a fun morning out... Next update: ND gathering in DC from this past weekend! Hugs and prayers for an awesome Monday!!

Have I ever mentioned how presidential your family can look? :) You guys are something else! Too involved for Santa's liking, eh? :) Love you! And yes, I think my Catholicism is making it's way around again....
