Shameless Plug!!

Hello all! please feel free to click on the 2 new links we have added to our blog. Our cousin, Jason Gianfriddo and his Family run a couple great online shops. Jason is very talented (and way too modest) and works very hard to run the Christmas Moon Store along with Handcrafting most of the flutes he sells on MettaFlutes.com If you have no idea what I'm talking about, just click on the new links and see for yourself!.....and feel free to buy stuff too!....Ok plug over...

Happy 2008....and feeling great! Brett and Amy had a great New Year's Eve bash at their new house!

A Christmas Story

The O'Brien gals get together every year around Christmastime. This year, Aunt Sharon had all the girls over to her house for a wonderful brunch! After our bellies were full, we headed over to Foothill's Theater to see "A Christmas Story." The theater was soooooo cold....brrrrrr! We kept our jackets and gloves on during the whole show...I guess they didn't want anyone falling asleep this year! The show was great!

I bought my raffle ticket to win the famous leg lamp....the winner will be called on Dec. 23...I hope I win!

After the play...we all gathered at Via Italian Restaurant in Worcester, MA. The food and company were the best! What a great day!

The Christmas Tree is up and Ready to go for Christmas... It looks a lot better this year. Probably because it didn't fly off the roof going 80 down the highway...we took the truck this year!!

Thanksgiving in North Carolina

Did you know you can pretty much cut through anything with an electric knife?... Terry knows that!!

Here's Fran and her Daddy during "Tea Time."
She will not eat whats on the spoon unless Chris makes that airplane noise again!










Who wants some North Carolina Crab for Dinner tonight? This kids have been doing a little fishing and Laurie is their #1 fan!

Snakes on a MANE!!

When we stopped off at a local village in Punta Cana on our honeymoon, Laurie traded her sunglasses for the snakes with a 12 year old local boy. Apparently, they do not let you on a Plane to go back to the US with Snakes in your luggage. So.........Samuel Jackson a.k.a.. Neville Flynn was full of shit!




But seriously, some dude pulled up on a dirt bike with a bucket full of snakes, we gave him 5 bucks to throw them around our necks and snap a photo and he wheelied off into the sunset forever.....very romantic.

Happy Honeymooners!

Here we are living it up in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Life is grand!
