Neige ! Luge !! Nikola et Meva !!!

C'était une belle journée aujourd'hui, ensoleillée, pas trop froide : idéale pour ... la luge !
La luge deux places est occupée par Nikola et moi :
Nikola se roule dans la neige :
Finalement Jean-Luc et Meva s'essaient :

Julien and Nikola (Part II)

Nikola is pretty friendly with Julien. She is always the first one telling us when Julien is crying, and she wants to her share to comfort him by gently rocking him. Even if she is a bit difficult these days, it's probably because of a combination of sickness, general fatigue after the holidays, change of rythm, and, maybe, a bit of jealousy... But this doesn't mean she is no fun at all...

Julien and Nikola (Part I)

Julien started smiling about a week ago, and yesterday has... found his thumb. Of course he has a loooong way to go before becoming a thumb-sucking master like Nikola, but it comes pretty handy when going to sleep... Last but not least, he drank from the bottle (filled with Jaye's milk) yesterday for the first time, and it went quite well. After being a bit confused initially, he got it and drank a fair amount while Jaye was at the hairdresser. A first step towards more freedom for Jaye!

Le réveillon du nouvel an

En dehors de la luge, l'activité phare de la semaine, pour Nikola, fut sans conteste la décoration des biscuits :

Au menu du repas de réveillon, qui a réuni Ron, Linda, Jaye, Olivier, Nikola et Julien :

1) foie gras et Sauternes,

2) Blanquette de veau et riz (Olivier et "sous-chef" Ron)

3) Plum Pudding flambé maison (Jaye)

Après ce repas pantagruelique (comme il se devait), tout le monde est allé se coucher légèrement trop tôt pour veiller jusqu'en 2008 !
