Striking a pose for Halloween! <

A Golden "Belle"

Annabelle, at age 4, is growing up in a lovely little lady.

Here comes the bride!!

Anna has developped a slight obsession with gowns , notably wedding gowns ;0)

Maman et son p'tit gamin!

Yannik is growing up so fast... I thought it was important to get a picture with him before he refuses to pose with his mom ;0)

Annabelle's 4th birthday photo

All dressed up for Easter 2012

She's not called Annabelle "Anastasia" for no reason! A true princess, always

A rather handsome chap!

Anna's first trip to maple sugar shack

A little timid, but intrigued, by the sugary liquid being rolled in the snow. She finally trusted me to try it out... I think the smile says it all!!! Yum, yum!!!

New Year's Eve traditional gift exchange

In keeping with russian/kazak tradition, we each received a small gift this New year's eve. For Annabelle, that meant a new pair of Kaz boots that we had picked up during our stay there.

Dejeuner du Pere Noel 2011

Snegurochka!!

Our very own Snegurochka (Russian Snow Maiden). We purchased this outfit in Petropavlovsk two years ago, thiniking how big it was at the time.! According to Russian tradition, Ded Moroz (Saint Niick) and his grandaughter, Snegurochka, distribute gifts on New Year's Eve. Annabelle, on the other hand, thought she was dressing as Cinderella ;0)
