A leisurely Friday evening

Ava was doing her "fish face" in bed and dad had to take out the camera. Mom joined in for a while. Pouring rain outside, what better than a cup of tea and some cake.

A new year

Ava in the bath, a daily routine.

Christmas

Ava does not like Giraffs, but she likes Christmas...or so we think. We are waiting for her to tell us.

We did find the time to break away from Turkey and gifts to see the Museum of flight and among other things, the cock-pit of an older Airforce One.

...and why am I hanging here?

Cousin Max

..for little moi?

With aunt Dominique in the park

Christmas candles on the table

OK, I understand. I look nice, but this is a very warm dress

Hmmm, wonder what santa will bring?
