Visiting Day

Today is a beautiful day, again.









We went to Ekin's parents for breakfast with Umut, Duygu and Derin (her bother, sister in law and nephew). Then with Ekin we made a traditional 'Galette des Rois' (Kings' cake) which wasn't bad, a bit too sweet maybe but still good. It was the first time that her family ate it. We usually eat this cake on January, 6th, Epiphany Day but well, not being a religious person I had totally forgotten about it. I just remembered I was supposed to eat a special cake in January.
Then, after playing with Derin and imitating her teeth rubbing we headed to Tepe Ören to visit the new house recently bought by Umut and Duygu.





















It's a nice place that looks a bit like Wisteria Lane ;) The house is very nice but it's far from the city (for me).







We came back home and noticed that Oreo was doing fine without us.

Paris day 07

Christmas eve, real last day 'in' Paris.
A last glance at the Opera.







A quick look at the Pont des Arts.







I look back on Le Louvre.







And we kept the best for the end, we met with Shaghig at Néo Café in Odéon. I'm half an hour late because I could'nt find a place to park my vélib' ;)





















Then off we go, to my sister's house to spend Christmas.









Lucas is ready.









The table is set.









We opened the present





















Dessert time, it's already 3 a.m.









I spared you the picture of my dad dressed as Santa both to protect you and him.
Just to draw you a picture, he didn't have a belt and wasn't wearing any shoes because coming from the back room. First words of Lucas when he saw him : "Where is Grand Pa' ?"

Merry Christmas.
