Happy New Year 2008!
Dylan and Ariana tried to stay up for New Years. Ariana fell asleep with only 5 minutes to go. Dylan didn't make it past 10:00.

Ariana's 5th bday was a princess tea party. There were a ton of teacups and teapots to use. The girls made princess hats, fairy wands and even had fairy dust on them. everyone enjoyed themselves except for maybe Dylan. (Oh yeah and Dad too- he was stuck up in be with food poisening, yuck)

It also snowed on the Feb. 1st in which the kids took to the hill in our backyard. The Dog loved catching snowballs and would then eat them.

Dom's 2nd bday was on Dec. 4! His best friend Joshua came along with Lora's boys. They had a great time throwing balloons around the balloon pit.

Ariana sang a Snowflake song based on the Itsy Bisty Spider for a school perfomance

The kids all had pictures with Santa. (And nobody cried, amazing!)

We had 2 Christmas's one in Missouri and then one with Jason's folks in Ohio. In Ohio we got to meet Ron's new girlfriend Cindy who is really awesome. We saw Great Grandma Fran and the kitty, too. Dylan and Ariana became quite good at cards (Thanks Grandma Fran). (We are going into the poor house) Dom had a great time playing with grandpa. Jason introduced his dad to an online game. (Which I am sure Diane is just thrilled with) Alyssa crawled all over the place and was into everything.

We visited MA for Jason's board review class and grandpa Coder and Grandma Deb met Alyssa for the 1st time.

It was a quick but fun weekend. Kelly saw alot of her high school friends- Megan, Megan, Michele, Sophia. The family went to Gloucester where they climbed on the rocks and played at the playground and grabbed a bite to eat seafood of course. Kelly, Grandma & the kiddos also visited Crane's beach and got to see people riding horses on the beach. Dylan had a blast with Dave, too.

Dylan's 6th bday was a pirate party. The boys were made up to look like pirates. We even hunted for buried treasure in the woods behind our house. Dylan even had a pirate ship cake.

Thanksgiving was an unique experience at Jason's friends house. Ariana had a turkey day at school.

here are the rest of the Halloween pics

Memphis- Kelly & the kiddos went to Memphis to see Sharon and Clay and even Elvis. We even ate a Corkys (thanks travel channel) We had a great time except for when Dylan split his lip on a picnic table at Mini Golf.

The pumpkin patch- Kelly got to go with both Ariana's and Dylan's class to the pumpkin patch. And of course we got to try a cornfield maze.

Trick-or-Treating All the Rigoni's went to Dana and Chucks for trick or treating. Chuck was dressed as an Iraqui prisoner (but everyone thought he looked like Jesus). The girls were fairy princessess and Dominic was a dragon and Dylan was a Ninja ( he wore the outfit Jason sent him from Korea)

I even took a few pictures of Ariana at Gymnastics.
