The Parrillo Family

"To thy happy children of the future (i.e. Those of you who turned over our Christmas card and were curious enough to arrive here), those of the past (us Parrillos in 2025) send greetings ." 2025 was good to the Parrillo family.  And, we were busy.  Hard to believe another year has come-and-gone.   However, before we get to our annual Year in Review, I'd like to call attention to an important detail on our Christmas Card.  While the photo is lovely, it certainly won't top our Griswold-family-inspired card from 2022 .  But, after a long, difficult two-year hiatus, I'm happy to share that this year, "Leadership" allowed for the inclusion of a special greeting to all of our friends and family who celebrate Festivus.  Here's to pinning your father and the lack of tinsel this season. With that out of the way, now...on to our Year in Review.  Activities and Events From the stage to the field, the Parrillo kids got out there and participated.  ...

I'm certain that *some* of you are in on the joke, right?  This was a little moment of joy in 2022 when Nat surprised us all with these embroidered berets right on the spot in Paris this Summer.  What's the inspiration?  None other than Clark and Ellen and family on their trip to Europe in the 1980's. Alright...now with the yucks out of the way, let's talk about 2022.  Despite my b...

We started in Tuscany with visits with the Parrillo family.  In Italy of all places.  What a treat.  After puttering around Florence, we drove up to Lake Como for a weekend getaway.  Pretty nice.  From there, we took a train to Paris where we fell in love with the City all over again.  A trip of a lifetime.  Lucky kids.
