It has been a few days since I dropped a few lines so here it goes. Christmas is approaching like a hurricane fast and swift. I have been out and about in the commercial chaos that surrounds it and I can't seem to find the excitement of Christmas that I usually do after all I consider myself an Elf. I enjoy Christmas and all that it represents, I guess my enthusiasm is not at its peak because I am focused on my trip back to the islands for Christmas. Yes you heard right my family and I are off to Barbados, Ethan has been talking and singing about it for some time now, I can't wait to see his face when he realises he is on an aeroplane.This week he was so excited to receive an E-mail from Santa, even Santa has become technology savvy, Ethan's eyes got wide and full of excitement watching that E-mail, thank you Jamie you made his week. Shopping for gifts has become such a pain I can't find anything in the sizes that I want all the good stuff is pretty much gone, considering I am on a time restraint. My sister-in-laws and I tried taking pictures of our kids in colour coordinating outfits compliments of Nana, all I am going to say is train wreck, Sahara kept crawling off and I had to bribe my son with candy to get a picture, the things we do to get that Christmas picture. I baked my treats today one came out great and the other was not like the picture in the food magazine so I decided to name it my rustic biscotti. (lol) it taste great. I am off to study for my lesson tomorrow, but I will drop a few lines before I leave.
