The Biagini Christmas

We had an extended Christmas weekend with Dave and Cindy this past weekend! On Friday night, we had dinner reservations at Creek Road Café, which is our favorite Dripping Springs restaurant. After David had the porkchop of his life, he put it on our short list to take his parents to next time they came down! It did not disappoint, and dinner was perfect.

Dave told Nico that he had Santa's phone number, and he called him a few times during dinner just to update him on Nico's behavior when his listening was getting questionable. Ha!

On Saturday morning, Nico woke up and was an immediate helper in the kitchen. With the Biagini's in town, that means it's an entire day of cooking! It was so cute to see him in action. I think he already knows more than me. And for that reason, I chose to be the wine drinker and photographer during this process.

He learned how to make gnocci today and contributed to nearly every part.

He sure wasn't happy when David cut in on his jobs...

I would say that the importance of good food and carrying on the tradition of Italian recipes is already engraved within Nico's DNA. His middle name isn't Arnold for nothin'.

He took a break from the kitchen to also cook out on the grill with Papa.

After we had an amazing gnocci and lobster dinner, it was time for gift opening! He was most excited about all of the Ninja Turtles stuff (all 4 turtles, plus 3 different vehicles), a fishing rod and tackle box, and marshmallow shooters.

It was a nice Christmas with the Biagini family!
