The Coppola Christmas was our first Christmas and it was a great night. It's so nice to have us all together. Gma Taylor and Emily's mom joined us, as well, and I think they really enjoyed it! We had great food and Ali is a really good host so it was clean and organized. The only bad part of the night is that Davis got a migraine headache in the middle of Christmas and had to go to Blank Hospital. But, he did end up coming back. The other bad thing about Christmas is that my whole family got sick the week before, so Tony and Kelly and Bobbi and Joe all had to stay at Cary and Ali's house - it was a bit crammed but I think they all managed! : ) We had plans to celebrate Davis' birthday on Friday night but had to put that on hold due to sickness. So, we ended up combining Davis' birthday with our Christmas and it worked great!
