The New Catalano Family: Countdown to Christmas

Mike and I can't wait for Luciana's 1st Christmas. We're so excited! We're a little behind on all of the prep work though. We just got our tree last week and decorated it on Wed. We also just sent out our Christmas cards (sorry if you get yours after the holiday... It's the thought that counts right) :) Things definitely take a lot longer and a lot more planning with a little one but it's SO worth every minute.
We took Lucy to see Santa Claus over the weekend which was great. She absolutely loved him and got to tell him all of the things she wants for Christmas. Mike and I have tried not to buy her too many things but we find that on every outing, somehow we come back with another gift for her - baby toys are just to fun to buy!!

We also went to Ari's 1st birthday party this past weekend which was a lot of fun. They had a woman from a place called Music Together who led the kids in songs and dancing and Luciana had a blast. I'm looking into signing her up for a class but it's been hard to find anything on the weekends - so let me know if you hear of anything.

Here are some photos from this weekend and a few from her 'photo shoot'.
