Christmas Baby

Christmas Day, 1988

21 years ago today my little sister, Ellen, was born. Over the past 21 years she has grown into one of the most loveliest people that I know. She is kind and compassionate, diplomatic and yet always genuine. She is a wonderful little sister. She also says funny things like "I am fried chickening" when what she really means is "I feel incredibly stressed" and calls the Esplanade, and "esPLanDe" (french style).

24th December, circa 2000

Being a 'Christmas Baby' must be tough and despite our family trying to keep Elle's Birthday and Christmas separate, Christmas traditions still snuck in - her Birthday cake was always a 'Bush de Noel', a french Christmas Log.

Happy 21st Elle! Hope you enjoy the surprises that we have in store for you...
