Euchre...

We had dinner with Cousins Luke and Mamie. Gianna was introduced to the Brunner Family Tradition of Euchre.


Gianna and cousin Mamie teamed up with Luke against Mommy and Daddy...


...Even though Daddy had TWO successful Loaners...


...Gianna's bold stratagems along with Mamie's Counsel were too much for Mommy and Daddy and the cousins and Gianna were victorious! ;)



...and Gianna makes the CUTEST Polar Bear we've ever seen...

Moving on up...

Gianna finally outgrew the chair in which she ate her daily cereal...


...and she seems to enjoy her new high chair...


...but eating is still serious business to Gianna...


...and she is usually satisfied when she's done.

Tis the season...

Gianna is getting into the holiday spirit...

...She had her first visit with Santa...


...and celebrated with a yummy meal in her special bib.

5 Months!!!

Gianna continues to do well and today we celebrate her 5 Month Birthday. After a few weeks of reconnaissance, Gianna took her first few sips from Mamma's water glass and She was very excited about it.


We recently took Gianna to her first UNC Men's Basketball game at the Dean Smith Center.


She really seemed to enjoy the atmosphere and followed the action on the court. She didn't like the "substitution" horns - maybe because she didn't agree with Coach Williams' substitution decision?...or maybe because the horn was just too loud for her tastes.


The Heels won and Coach Williams earned his 600th career victory - Congratulations Coach!

Thanksgiving...

Gianna was a very happy girl these past few days to have Mommy AND Daddy at home...


...She enjoyed her fair share of Football on TV...


...and really enjoyed her first Thanksgiving at her buddy Will's House.


Gianna enjoyed picking out her first Christmas Tree.


She also seems to enjoy the cooler temps as long as she's got something cute & warm on! ;-)

Papa Greco's Business Trip

Mama was fighting some congestion over the weekend, but she's feeling much better now...So far Gianna has managed to stay very healthy and we're hoping and praying it stays that way.


Gianna is waving hi...


...as she plays with her "guys" while she's sitting like a big girl in her bumbo...


Papa's in town on a business trip and is able to stay a few extra days to spend some time visiting with his newest granddaughter.
