Our first real X-mas tree.

 
I hadn’t had a real X-mas tree since my father chopped one down at Grandot’s house when I was about 10. The smell that hits you every time you come home and the lights dancing in front of Isabelle’s face is just too good. I’m not sure we will ever buy a fake tree again, [...]

The Aviator Hat

 
Nana found a great hat amongst the many clothes we have received. Since we decided to go out for coffee and breakfast, we thought we would show off Isabelle in her cute new hat. I’m sure that even she knew she looked good.
