Brussels Revisited, or Life is a Carousel

Yes, Christmas was months ago.  I've gotten over being spot on with this blog and it's timing.  So off to our winter break to Belgium.


Emma loves a good carousel
Nico's fondness for them on display, too
Checking out the colorful MP chocolate
The kids just love their family portrait in La Grand-Place
Chameleon time
Ostrich man
"The smallest house in Brussels"
Déjà-vu!  Last time here Emma was a bun in the oven :)


UNESCO  World Heritage Site
Mannequin Pis, the man of the moment


Feeling the love
Recreating photo from 5 years ago, Mark adds something different this time!
Surprise, another carousel for Nico
Just one of Mason's many GQ shots (I take so many since he used to hate me taking his photo)
Marché de Nöel


Brussels just makes me happy.  Let's make that Belgium in general.  I know both times we visited it was cold, rainy, and grey, but the beauty and architecture of the city, the chocolate, the people, the waffles, the frites . . . what's not to love?  We first came in 2005 when I was pregnant with Emma, and this time she was enthralled with her introduction to Mannequin Pis (ok, not really).
