Holiday 2008

This was a snowy white christmas for the family. Piper loved playing in the snow and helping to shovel the driveway.

Of course holiday gifts were a big hit this year. Piper scored with the guitar and harmonica she had been asking for along with some great games from uncle mark and learning games from mama from Montesorri.

Because she is becoming a big girl who is very independant and thoughtful, she also got her own milk pitcher, mop and bucket, vegetable slicer and sandwich maker. She is excited to be able to get her own cereal in the morning and pour her own milk. She is growing up!

Piper and dadda braved the cold winds and snowy blizzard Sunday to play outside. Piper got some sled rides around the backyard and then her and dadda chased each other around the cars and threw snowballs. Mama was stuck inside sick but able to watch from the window and take a few choice snowball photos. Of course the inch of snow led to a school closure the next day, so we sat around drinking hot chocolate, drawing candy canes and watching spiderman.

The Zurbano family gets ready for a quiet holiday this year at home. We started it all off with a nice Saturday evening filled with Yule tree decorating while listening to Peter and the Wolf. Piper did a spectacular job decorating the house and tree.

OH NO! The wolf just ate Sasha the Duck!!!!!!

Piper and mama get silly
