UK birthday: two years old.

Unveiling the kitchen. (A half Christmas/half birthday present).

Exploring all the features.

A new game: hungry, hungry puppies.

Puppy cake.

Christmas and birthday in Dallas: 2013-14.

This is a short film Ada loves and they happened to have this at Heathrow.

On the plane. The headphones training worked (for a little while).

Off the plane at DFW.

Coming out of the chute into the welcoming arms of Pa and Mimi.

We were grateful to John for doing the box rides so we didn't have to!

Driving around Tom Thumb.

The best birthday present ever.

Puppies from Naomi.

Goodbye hugs.

A craft project: Ada's stocking.

I decided to make a stocking for Ada this year, partly to try out my lovely new sewing machine, which was a birthday present.

Since I'm a procrastinator, I only started this week. Fortunately, it turned out to be not too hard. Will add her name at some point - possibly even in time for this Christmas!

Daily Ada: 1 December 13

On our way to Devon to celebrate Mark's mum's birthday with a night in Clovelly. Ada seems to have inherited the need to cover her face to sleep from both Mark and me. She did this all herself.
