Church Mice

Abby and Zoë were so quiet in church today, they did very well. Nonna came with us, and during the service the girls and I sat up front and lit the three advent candles for the previous days, since church was canceled last Sunday due to the snow storm and we didn't get to do the lighting then. Afterwords Abby and Zoë sat with Nonna and I instead of going to jr. church or the play room. Abby did stickers and coloring most of the time, while Zoë spent the majority of the time snuggling Nonna, and just did stickers towards the end.

For lunch we went to an Italian restaurant, Dante's, which Chris and I have had a gift certificate to for three years! So, Mommy finally got to go to the restaurant and share it with her family. Nonna ordered the carbonara with fresh fettuccine, I ordered the gnocchi dish, and Daddy ordered the shrimp scampi with fresh fettuccine. As an appetizer we had antipasto d’Italiano, imported meats, cheeses, and assorted marinated and roasted vegetables. They had big coloring/activity books for Abby and Zoë to use while we waited, which did their job of keeping the girls occupied. The food was delicious! Nonna and I had both wanted to try the carbonara and the gnocchi, so we switched part of the way through our meals. Abby and Zoë's favorite by far was the gnocchi dish, they ate so much of it, after trying everything from the appetizer plate multiple times! I think they might just have Italian taste buds.
