Good morning friends and happy Friday!

This past week has been busy, the days seem to go faster than usual between work, errands to run, last things to get ready, wrapping presents (I just started, this year I am not very organized, I dont know what happened!) and cooking, it looks like I do a couple things and the day is already over! The kids are getting very excited, Aurora had the gingerbread house decoration at her school where parents could go, she begged me to go and when she saw me that morning she was so happy! She also had the ugly sweater day and pajama day at her school, such cute ideas! Everything is new for her and also for me because these are traditions that don`t exist in Italy. Aurora is getting very anxious and is asking me every day how many days until Christmas she has to count. At least it is a good exercise on counting and on naming the days, but I am afraid she is getting too stressed. I think that right now she is just very excited! The boys are very happy too, they had Santa at their school this week, Alessandro sat on his lap and talked extensively to him about his life! Leonardo was more shy and didn`t want to get close to him! They are so funny and have such different personalities, which is something that always amazes me. Although they are twins and were born almost exactly at the same time, they are so different and their personalities were very clear from the moment they were born. Nonna and nonno are here and the kids are so happy, they keep asking them things and trying to get their attention.

Hello my friends and welcome to a new week that will take us to Christmas, are you excited? I am and I also feel like I still have a thousand things to do and not much time to accomplish them! I actually started shopping for Christmas early this year, but I still have to buy some presents!  I am trying not to stress out though and I do that by writing lists and lists of things to do, I even thought about making a list of the lists that i had to write (this is how crazy I am!). But the fact of writing down things and cancelling them once they are done gives me the idea that I accomplished something and makes my mind more clear about what I have to do and what I already did, can you relate?
