Ava's Christmas Kitchen

For Xmas we ordered a kitchen for Ava from Amazon, which has been out of stock until now and finally arrived yesterday. It was a gift from all the grandparents, and both kids love it! They played in the box it was shipped in while I put it together, and then spent the morning in Ava's room cooking up a storm. No fighting, and nobody noticed I had turned the TV off either.
We have booked a week away in February driving through parts of France. We are heading first to Calais, then Bayeux, and finally Reims in the Champagne region, before heading home to Lux. We're looking forward to our first trip of 2011!
