Christmas in Italy

      Buon Natale! Merry Christmas! 

     Some of our family's holiday traditions are not being practiced this year but I'm happy to say we are experiencing some different events this year.  The kids and I did a cookie exchange with our friends Julianne Pugh and Leslie Ross (wives of Boeing engineers).  We made Nanaimo bars, Magic layer bars, decorated sugar cookies and exchanged a few other types.
    

      The day before we enjoyed a leisure walk around old Naples (Spaccanapoli).  We perused a few churches in the area, shopped and ate pasta! yum!!
