A very flamenco christmas

"Daddy... can we have Christmas again next week?"asked Ivy after possibly the greatest day of her life
not only did she manage to get more presents than the entire under 16 population of Ghana, but she also got to be a flamenco girl and 36 hours later she still is a flamenco girl
Her and cousin Josephine put on a show for us all


unfortunately for william it was girls only
Poppy didn't mind as long as there was pink tinsel around

Feliz Navidad

Merry Xmas everyone and to celebrate poppy will not close her mouth until 2011.
Ivy will wear red until boxing day

and pull ridiculous smiles in all xmas photos

Angel child and her devil sister

no prize for guessing who's who....

Ivy camps it up

The fairy ring

one of these photos was taken three years ago.....same outfit different baby
(the bottom one is Ivy 2007)

Is this the scariest doll in the whole world?

Should I be concerned for my 3 year old daughter's obsessive love of her beloved "Jemima"?
Is she the evil fiend that will come haunt me in my dreams?

Don't judge a doll by her thinly shredded fabric.

Jemima is 38 years old and used to be Kate's when she was a little girl and now she's the most special thing in the whole wide world to little Ivy.... We just make sure she doesn't come out when guests come around
