We Need a Little Christmas!

Right this very minute!
Haven't posted in a while as we've been out for the count - Estelle has a bronchial virus, when then moved into her intestines and produced lots of interesting vomiting episodes. I had the pleasure of undergoing an amnioscentis which produced perfects results. Did I mention yet I'm expecting?
Thomas had the good fortune of waiting on me hand and foot after the amnio for 3 days and cleaning up after poor Estelle's troubled tummy. His parents also helped up by standing in for 6 days. I was too laid up in bed to take any photos and it appears Thomas didn't either - so we have no visual documentation of their visit! Sorry...
But now life is back to normal, and here's Estelle getting into the Christmas spirit eating and making Christmas sugar cookies:



On Friday we enjoyed a Christmas teatime with buddies Thomas and Eliott. Estelle looks like a gypsy because her tights got wet so we put on pink sweatpants under her skirt
Enjoying our little tree

A video of some kind of dance she was doing: wait until the Christmas song in th background of this blog entry finished to press play on the videos so you can hear what is happening in the video....

Singing a French children's Christmas song:

Sunday after making cookies we went to another Christmas gathering = an "advent" party, at Helene and Sylvain's place. Estelle had 3 playmates, but she was by far the oldest child there.
Here she is trying to blow out the candles (for the 7th time)
Helene, our host, graciously accommodates Estelle's candle obsession
Special friend to Estelle number one that afternoon: Eloise.

More soon!
