Christmas always seems to go by in a flash, and this year was no different. The chaos of Christmas morning gave way to some quality time with Nonna before Christmas dinner with cousins.
Christmas Eve 2025
A steak dinner at home and time with some family capped a nicely balanced Christmas Eve. Topping it off with some lottery scratcher winners didn’t hurt either!
Our Favorite Santa
Like last year, the Santa visit kicked off our holiday season, and none better is our guy at the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City. We had a nice chat without the pressure of crowds, so there was plenty of time to review all the Christmas wishes!
Thanksgiving 2025
It was a cold Thanksgiving weekend, but luckily we escaped to San Juan for 48 hours of sun, sand and saltwater. We didn’t leave the resort except for an evening in Old San Juan, but it was the perfect respite after a very busy fall!
Merry Christmas ’25
Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
Georgetown Weekend
We spent plenty of quality time in and around Georgetown, hitting our first basketball game of the season and spending quality time with friends and fellow Hoyas at home and on campus. We hit the hot spots, including M Street and The Tombs – just like the ’90s!
Fall Photos
So rarely does the fall schedule come together with all the baseball, soccer and football. But the stars aligned for one fateful Saturday morning to capture some shots in the very picturesque Old Town Alexandria.
Double the Baseball
After an 18-mo hiatus, both boys were playing baseball during the same season. Like Colin’s third-grade team, Owen drew the Yankees, while Colin was all Stags all the time for fall ball. It was a lot of time on the ball field, but we wouldn’t have it any other way!
Fall into Soccer
For the second straight fall, O and his DEFC Atletico team gave it their all during soccer season. With a fully staffed up team, they got to work as a central unit throughout the season. On to winter training!
