November Happenings!

We had some technical difficulties with our Mac and I was unable to upload pictures for a while....that's my excuse this month for taking so long to update :)

November was another wild and crazy month for the Mansolillo's.

Hanging with his pals roasting hot dogs at Blake's house...
 this is what the maniac squirrels do to our pumpkins after Halloween...
 Celebrated Baby Nasti - can't wait to meet him in January!
 Mama had a well deserved day with her girls at the Winery :)
 Our little pilgrim. 
Keeping the Chick Fila tradition alive on Thanksgiving lunch day (the school lunch is yucky!), mama made 2 trips to Chick Fila because J and G's lunch times are over an hour apart!
 Celebrated daddy's birthday <3 br="">
 Jack celebrated Ben's birthday at his favorite place, Skyzone!
 Gobble, gobble - a friend of these fine turkey's was our Thankgiving dinner!
 It was freezing but they really enjoyed going to the farm to get a fresh turkey!
 Thankful for these turkeys!
 Uncle Tony and his buddy, Josh
 Lexi and Rocco had WAY too much turkey!
 
 Celebrated Catie's 4th birthday!
 Jack and Gia's first Raven's game - they stayed the whole time, and the ravens WON!
 Can't beat free club level seats!

Happy Halloween!

Jack was the Joker and Gia was Evie (from the Descendants Disney Movie) - she was not pleased that many people didn't know who she was, haha! We started the weekend with the Fall Festival and Halloween parade at school, then headed to the Village Center to trick or treat, Gma and Gdad came to help us carve pumpkins and we wrapped the weekend up with our annual Halloween gathering in our cul-de-sac!
Jack & Cate
 Jack, Gia, Philip and Blake
 redneck hayride around our neighborhood! the kids loved it!
  Jack did a pretty good job gutting his pumpkin this year

Welcome to the world, Meatball!

Joshua Adam Mansolillo finally graced us with his presence on August 26th! Weighing in at 9lb and 9oz, his daddy appropriately dubbed him Meatball. Now all Jack and Gia do is call him Meatball :)

He is such a cutie! 
 
Jack and Gia adore him already!
