Comadil Christmas party

The main reason for our trip to Italy was the Christmas party at the Terex plant. The day of the party didn't start out very well, but it turned out to be an awesome time. First, Christine got sick and ended up not being able to go. Then, the babysitter that had been arranged for us called in sick. After coming up with a bunch of different options including Kenny & I not going, me not going, the manager of the hotel watching the kids, we ended up taking Luc with us, leaving late and putting Jack to bed in Christine's room. God bless the Italians!!! They absolutely loved Luc and he was incredibly well-behaved. They took pictures of him, carried him around, kissed both of his cheeks and got called "bella bambino" more times than I could count. He was out WAY past his bedtime and it showed the next day. When we got home on Saturday we put him to bed early and didn't wake up until Kenny finally went into his room at 11:15 Sunday morning!

The ride back to the hotel....One tired party boy!I can't even begin to describe the food. The event was held at a villa the company rented and was catered by a chef who is famous in the area and is even on a TV cooking show. Luc's mouth may water when he talks about the tiramisu he had in Italy, but Kenny and I can't stop talking about the risotto we had at the party.
