Dall'ultima volta che ho scritto sono successe tante cose! E' passato Natale, il mio compleanno, l'ultimo dell'anno, la befana, è iniziato il 2009, è nevicato, Elodie ha fatto 19 mesi... 
Since I have written last time so many things happened! Christmas, my birthday, the end of the year, the Befana, 2009 began, it snowed, Elodie turned 19 months .... But I'll try to go in order: On Christmas Eve, while dad was still at work, Elodie and I went to visit the lady who lives upstairs (she's the mother of the house owner) She's an old lady and she was so happy of our visit, and although Elodie was scared at first, then she was well set and had fun with dog, she also tried to eat the dog cookies! In the evening my parents and my brother came for dinner. It was a French dinner: We ate raclette (a type of cheese) with potatoes, various types of ham and as appetizer we ate salmon and lumpfish roe caviar. It was delicious! We think it will become a tradition! Elodie atewith us and did not seem tired at all, she was awake until shortly after midnight! But then the next morning she slept until almost 11! She still does not realize that night Santa Claus came... !!

Questo è stato il primo Natale a casa nostra! La mattina di Natale è stato bello vedere Elodie che apriva i regali! Ad ogni regalo faceva: "Wuuuuuuu" ma la cosa che la interessava di più era la cioccolata!! Xavier quella mattina ha anche preparato i salatini da portare per il pranzo di Natale a casa di mio nonno. Erano davvero buoni! Xavier è bravo a cucinare! Sono fortunata! Lui mi ha regalato un cellulare nuovo perchè quello che avevo stava morendo... E' bellissimo perchè viola!!! Invece lui ha ricevuto del torrone al pistacchio e alla nutella, un pigiama e un quadernone ad anelle per sistemare le sue cose! Ne è stato molto contento in particolare del torrone.. chissà perchè!! Dopo esserci preparati siamo andati a casa di mio nonno a mangiare come da tradizione i tortelli! Mio babbo è bravissimo a farli come li faceva mia nonna! A mangiare c'erano anche Maurice e Gloria, i missionari e Amalia.
Dopo il bel pranzo ci siamo scambiati i regali. Nel pomeriggio i missionari sono andati a chiamare le loro famiglie da casa dei miei e Ariele è rimasto con loro mentre noi siamo rimasti da mio nonno a pulire e tenergli compagnia.. La sera eravamo tutti distrutti così siamo andati a letto abbastanza presto! =)
Il 26 dicembre siamo rimasti a casa mangiando gli avanzi e guardando insieme il nuovo DvD che avevamo preso per la famiglia: Trilli! Nel tardo pomeriggio invece siamo andati al cinema (Elodie è rimasta con i nonni) con Ariele, Monica, Mila, Renata, Alessandro e suo fratello a vedere "Ember"... Mi è piaciuto! Non andiamo spesso al cinema, così è stato divertente fare qualcosa di diverso.
This was the first Christmas in our home! On Christmas morning was good to watch Elodie opening presents! For each present she was: "Wuuuuuuu", but the thing she was more interested in was chocolate! That morning Xavier also prepared snacks for the Christmas lunch at the home of my grandfather. They were really good! Xavier is good at cooking! I am lucky! He gave me a new cell phone because mine was dying... I love it because it's purple! He received a pistachio and Nutella torrone, a pajamas and a note-book with rings for his stuff! He was very happy for those presents in particular for the torrone... I wonder why!! After getting ready, we went to my grandfather's home to eat as usual tortelli! My dad is great to make them as my grandmother did! There were also Maurice and Gloria, the missionaries and Amalia.
After the awesome lunch we exchanged gifts. In the afternoon, the missionaries went to call their families at my parent's home with Ariele while we remained with my grandpa, also for cleaning... In the evening we were all so tired, so we went to bed pretty early! =)
On December 26th we were at home eating leftovers and watching the new DVD that we bought for the family: Tinkerbell! In the late afternoon instead, we went to the cinema (Elodie remained with her grandparents) with Ariele, Monica, Mila, Renata, Alessandro and his brother to watch "Ember" ... I liked it! We do not go often to the movies, so it was fun to do something different.
