An afternoon at the farm with Elise's cousins Gabriel and Gladys

Gabriel and Gladys--what an effort to take this picture!

Elise got to see sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, turkeys, and horses!

Aurelie, Gabriel, and Gladys gave Elise a bag full of presents for her first birthday--a great CD, a bunch of books, a toy tractor, and a puzzle board with animals! Thanks for everything!

Also, that night we had a nice dinner with Aurelie, her husband Bruno, her brother Fabrice, and his girlfriend Morgane. Of course, I don't have any pictures, but we had a great time hanging out with our cousins!
