Beautiful family photo
Bonjour à toute votre famille et nos meilleurs voeux pour une nouvelle année remplie de joie et de bonheur! Nous suivons votre blog depuis l'attribution d'Alexia mais c'est la première fois que nous vous laissons un message! Nous sommes également en attente d'une petite fille de Chine. Vos deux petites princesses sont belles à ravir et c'est inspirant de les voir s'épanouir et de vous voir aussi heureux! Merci de partager tous ces beaux moments!
