Neighborly Love and Les Gâteaux


Our neighbors, Alexandre and Émilee, just recovered from the grippe (read: H1N1). We had to cancel our outing to the park yet again because of their illness, but in lieu I sent over just a few small pieces of some cookie bars I had made for our family to try to encourage them and let them know that we wanted to help if we could. You can imagine our surprise earlier this week when Alexandre came over to deliver their gratitude for our "support" in the form of these cakes! Apparently, Miriam had recently given them one of her drawings when she and Micaiah saw Alexandre in the yard a few days previously. So that's why they made the special teddy bear cake just for her. The gâteaux were so beautiful (and tasty, too!) that we just had to take pictures.
