the Rizzo Report: some photos from our "fake" Christmas morning

i was thinking about ava today and how quickly she is growing up. i can't believe that she is almost 8 months old. she is such a blessing to our lives though. thank you Jesus for your incredible mercy and kindness towards us.

i thought i would post a few photos from our fake Christmas morning. since we were going to spend Christmas with family this year, we had a little family Christmas morning on the saturday before. we slept by the Christmas tree, read the story of Christ's arrival, spent time in prayer, ate some cinnamon rolls teressa made, and all that good stuff. below are a few fun photos from ava opening a couple of presents.

we have learned how much ava likes music lately. once the tunes start up, her head starts swingin and her legs start moving. she is quality entertainment for sure.

we heard about this site - http://www.globalrichlist.com/. pretty interesting to see how blessed we are. sure gives me a grateful heart and makes me want to give more and complain less.

i also came across this site - http://iamsecond.com/. very cool site filled with testimonies from people who came from darkness to light. i am so glad our Lord isn't a respecter of persons and pursues each of us passionately.
