We are so thankful for great family and this year was definitely a celebration!
December 2009....
Christmas Morning at the Graffeo's...can you even see Elizabeth and Tom in their red pjs?
Christmas Eve Tom is dreaming of girls, I mean warmer weather. 
Quick family picture on the steps following Christmas Eve Mass
Christmas party at school. Yes, Tom fell at home the day before and busted his lip.
Christmas with the Beckers and Powells - Two sets of twins and two singletons (6 kids between 8 months and 3 years old)!
How precious is he?
Christmas morning....Elizabeth's favorite gift. Check out the matching ring on the right hand!
Me and two of the greatest gifts in the world
Still trying to decide how we will manage to get all six children to sit in one chair
Caleb plus the Powells. Elizabeth will not let go of John William

Caleb plus the Powells. Elizabeth will not let go of John William
Nana, Mia and the youngest great-grandchild
This is our new way of smiling
Eyes are always on Nana whenever she is around - she is so beautiful!
John William goes to the school Christmas Party - dressed as a reindeer.
...and a view from the front
These two are really close nowadays. Elizabeth loves to have an audience and John William always laughs at / with her.
All three hanging out under the tree, they all thought this was hysterical
This guy is always happy, unless you without food
The youngest and oldest....I mean most experienced in the family
It's official, all 13 grandchildren and now all 3 great grandchildren have 'surfed' on Nana and Granddaddy's kitchen table.
Christmas celebration at the Powells - aprons and rain boots were a hit!
Rolling luggage with LED lights were Tom's favorite gift this year.
Happy Birthday Tom!
The beautiful stockings at Tom and Jo Ann's....
Tom loved the big tree
Caught under the mistletoe
Guess who loves the camera?
Daddy's birthday lunch at the Burger Club in Vinings - great childfriendly place!
Elizabeth loves to dress up, but does not realize you can keep your clothes on too.
Someone did not realize this 'dress' aka apron has a hole in the back!

Our first homework assignment, gosh, I cannot believe I said homework! Elizabeth and Tom make a family poster to display in their classroom.
How cute is this little guy!?
Unfortunately, all of the Powells were very sick the week before Thanksgiving, but we felt good enough to host everyone for Turkey Day. Tom did an excellent job on the bird!
Jojo took a break from cooking to play with the kiddos
Tom loves his new red rocking chair from Grandmother Powell
Proud grandparents with the first two grand kids.
Halloween at school
Of course this little cowboy rode in with me
Yeehaw! Happy Halloween from the Powell Cowboys and Cowgirls!
What do you get when you have a sombrero and a cowboy?
One of our favorite cowboys - Granddaddy Zicarelli
Everyone dancing at the neighborhood block party - it was freezing!!!
John William loves the attention from Grandmother Powell
Grandmother and her sweet sister-in-law
Some of Elizabeth's and Tom's artwork from the fall 
Here's a little hint of what is in store next
