Christmas overseas!!!



HAPPY NEW YEAR!  It is so good to back I had the best time in Italy. I got to reconnect with my family and spend quality time laughing, doing puzzles, and eating western food!  I am so blessed to have such supportive parents!  

We had such a great time in Italy! We first started out in Rome where we enjoyed pizza, the Sistine chapel, and all the ancient Roman ruins.  Then we traveled to Florence where we stayed in an apartment we rented and feasted on homemade pasta and antipasti... and basked in the many Renaissance art museums.  Then on to the Cortina d'Ampezzo in the Italian Alps to ski and enjoy some of the most beautiful mountains I have ever seen.   The best part of the trip was how much we laughed and enjoyed each others company... I was so sad though that my brother and sister-in-law could not make it... Christmas just seemed to be missing something.
