Natal 2014

For some reason this Christmas was a very special one for me. I feel very blessed to have an amazing family. 

I told my kids yesterday that they got the best dad ever ... We got the funny, smart and the one that cooks ... Haha ... I chose really well 😊

Julianna is a very loving caring girl. I love our talks where she tells me all her little secrets... All the dramas that happened at school and all her little crushes ( like Josh ). Julianna wrote a little letter to Bela ( our elf on the shelf ) and left nagas with carrots for every single raindeers. 

Alessandra is not as outgoing as her sister but she is very funny ... I keep saying that she is attached to my hip as she wants to smoochi all the time. I love every minute of it and I am dreading the moment when I will need to beg her for my hugs. 

They got almost everything they wanted and it was fun to see their faces opening all the presents. 

The magic of Xmas is very alive in our house and the only word that come to my mind is Thank You !!! 

Lady bug

Today was Alessandra show and she was the cutest ladybug ever !! 

It is funny how she is shy when around people that she does not know and can't come up with words when asked simple questions but when she had was in the show for school, she was full of expressions and was the cutest ladybug ever !!! 

Forgot lunch

Today I decided that I needed a treat... I had a tough couple of days at work and decided to get an acai to make me feel better. I asked Craig and he decided to join me.I went to get them and when was at the store, I got a phone call from ESS...Alessandra forgot her lunch 

I tried calling my mom and Don but they did not answer so I decided that the only solution was for me to drive home, get the lunch and bring it to Alessandra. The problem is that I had 2 acais in my car and they were going to melt. 

I called Craig and asked if I could give his acai to Alessandra and he agreed.

When I arrived at ESS they called Alessandra and she came up running and said : mommy...you forgot my lunch ! 

I said I was sorry but showed her the acai ( her favorite) and she opened a huge smile... For me mommy? All of it ? I said yes and I told her that I was going to eat lunch with her. 

We ate lunch together and she told me that it was the best lunch ever.. 

After all ...seeing her and having lunch with my baby was the treat that I needed to make me feel better 

Shower talk

Almost every night when Julianna needs to take a shower, she wants me to go with her so we can talk. I know that she just wants the company but I enjoy our conversations. Today she was telling me that she had a fight with her best friend at school ( Dylan) when I asked her why, she explained that Dylan and Abbie were not talking I with Kathlyn and Julianna was trying to make them talk again. When Kathlyn went to sit by herself, Julianna was sorry and sat with her. Dylan's got upset that julianna did not sit with them . 

Julianna is very mature regarding her friends and she has a very clear idea to what it right and what is wrong .. I am very proud of you Jules.  

Thank you

Today I woke up feeling very thankful ... I normally don't like to brag about my husband as I don't think it is fair to do this with my friends ... but since this is my bragging blog :-), I just wanted to remember how special he is for me and for the kids.

Julianna and Alessandra, you are very lucky to have such a caring, loving and most of all fun dad. Jason is an amazing father figure... He is the guy who helps with everything around the house and at the same time, he has so much fun playing with you girls...playing his games, making up stories and playing tickle monster. 

I had to work these last 2 days and he stayed home with you... I get home, you guys are playing games, the food is ready , all the Xmas decoration is put away and the laundry is done. 

I was very lucky to fall in love with the most amazing guy and you girls are very lucky to have the most amazing dad.
