I didn't post anything about it because I wanted it to be a surprise. But I sent a big package to my sister and her family in Italy. And to my surprise it only took 3.5 weeks to get there. For those of you that think that is a long time. It is not. It takes about 3-4 weeks to get a letter from Canada and it is WAY closer then Italy. 

The package had a little something for everyone...

A new quilt for the new baby


A homemade, wonky IPod case for Luca for his birthday


Apparently his favourite part is the button


A dress for Emma for her birthday


And Ellen well she got gum and a magazine. But not just any gum. Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream flavoured gum. Crystal (my sister-in-law) gave me 3 packs for Christmas. Knowing how much my sister loves everything mint chocolate as much as I do I knew I would have to sacrifice and share. 


And life is just better with a celebrity style magazine. Even if you have 2 kids under the age of 3 with not a moment to yourself.


I'm glad they liked everything and it was sort of a surprise even though mom gave it away that it was coming.  Happy Birthday Emma, Luca and Alex. And Ellen great job on making super adorable babies! You deserve the gum!
