Random shots from a week at home

It went too fast as usual, so fast we realized last night we forgot to eat crab :)
Here is a random selection of pictures I took during the week.

1er foie gras de la saison

First one of the Christmas season.
First one of many :)

My Yaris is fantastic

My Dad always says that his Yaris is fantastic. Once again it surprised us by fitting all three of us plus Oskar.
It was a bit packed but manageable for a short distance.

Crêpes

Last night on the way back from shopping I quickly stopped by the Crêperie de Coataudon to buy some freshly made crepes.
I bought two dozens.
By the time we got home, a few had disappeared in the car. No idea what happened there.
After dinner, a significant number of them went missing. They are so good you can just eat them plain. No need to add anything.
This morning, there were only six left and after breakfast they were gone.

Those crepes disappear so fast we did not even get a chance to take a picture.
We have to go back and buy some more for the pictures :)

Tree holder

And there was light

It started with the wish to have christmas decoration outside. My Dad came up with one set that is powered by sunlight.
Today around lunch time the two men of the house went outside to decorate the outdoor tree. 
After some serious thinking, the lights were set and the tree ready for the night.
Now all we need is some sunlight which is going to be challenging given it's raining.

Night update: no light on the tree :( 
It did rain pretty hard the rest of the day. 

One week later, Wolfram figured out that there was a switch button. Once "on", the tree was shining through the night :)

Waiting for their grandson

My parents got everything ready for Oskar's visit: the baby cot in my former bedroom, a changing table and even a table and toys to play with. 
Most likely these toys are as old as me but that's really sweet to have kept them for the next generation.

And what will be Oskar's first bike :)
