Brody's First Christmas

Today we celebrated Brody's first Christmas Day. It all started last night with Christmas Mass where we saw many friends and family. Then we moved on to Christmas Eve dinner at the Costa's. This morning, Brody was very excited to see his Christmas presents under the tree. After opening our gifts, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast of pancakes and bacon. We moved on to see Grandma and Grandpa Melnicoff and the rest of the family. We enjoyed a great feast of steak and potatoes. Then it was off to see Grandma and Grandpa Thomas and Dad's side of the family. What a great Christmas!

Dinner at Pasquale's Pizza

Brody has been quite active in his crib lately. He wakes up in the middle of the night, sits up and looks around for a while, then he lays back down and goes back to bed. It used to be that we would put him to bed and he would fall asleep right away. Now he immediately rolls over, sits up and starts talking. Makes for an interesting bedtime routine.

Friday night we went to Pasquale and Sons for pizza and zeppoles with Natalie, Joey and Vinnie. We are big fans of Pasquale's. Here are a few pictures of Brody hanging out with his buddy Vinnie.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Thanksgiving weekend was a busy one for Brody. We started it off with a visit with John's Mom, Aunt Cam and the Costa Family. Next, we had the joy of getting the news that Brody is going to become a cousin thanks to Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Jack. Then, we spent Thanksgiving Day with The Melnicoffs in Port Saint Lucie. On Friday, Brody received a visit from Carly. To cap it all off, we traveled over to Clearwater on Saturday so that John could attend Kellen's Baptism as his Godfather. Here are some pictures from Brody's big weekend.
