Took the kids ice skating and against all sensible reason, I brought my camera and snapped some photos of the kids. Believe me, this was not an easy feat. Too many moving variables...and one very hard cold surface!! Enjoy!

So here's a photo of this year's gingerbread house. A bit different than last year's house, the kids used a little more artistic license this time to make it a Corso original. Hey, they were proud. Still the best $15 I spent!!

BIRTHDAY WEEKEND!

So the twins turned 10 December 14th so this weekend we decided to 1) have separate parties and 2) have them at the house, a movie theme.

AJ's party Friday night, Marissa's party Saturday night.

We projected a movie on a sheet down in the basement. We gave the kids pizza and cupcakes first and then they went downstairs for the movie. AJ and Marissa each invited about 15 friends over, and they were told to wear jammies and bring blankets and pillows.

Here are the boys during the few resting moments...most of the other times they were wrestling.

Then Saturday night was the girls' turn. I broke out the camera and snapped a few photos.Blowing off some steam before cupcakes...

Marissa gets two thumbs up!

Then all was quiet in the Corso house again.

But wait! There's more!!

Sunday we had some family over for dinner and...you guessed it...more cake!HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AJ & MARISSA!! We Love You!!

VISIT TO NYC
So during the first weekend of December we decided to go into the city and check out the tree and such. Very cold day, but we got a lot done in the day. Here are some highlights:

Started at the Museum of Natural History...

The Origami Christmas Tree. Very cool!

Yay! NYC pretzels!!
