Favourite Photo Friday - 22/5/15

This weeks photo Friday proudly features the brown furry bear hat we bought for Astrid while in Europe in 2012, I'm fairly sure it was purchased in Switzerland.  As we were travelling in late Autumn/early Winter it was fairly chilly and most of our Europe photos feature Astrid in her red coat, furry bear hat and Amsterdam purchased Zara boots.  The hat is lovely and warm and got a good work out.  Now it has been recycled for Master Soren to wear.

Astrid got to wear it in far more exotic locations, I think that hat has been to at least 7 countries and kept her head warm and cosy on very chilly days.  Here are just a few of my fave pics of Astrid sporting her furry bear hat.

I must do a proper updated photo comparison of the two of them, but I can definitely see similarities! Astrid is such a girl, and Soren, such a boy, but they both have the same cheeky grin!!!
