The picture of Mirka and the girls watching Roger play today was awesome. The girls were dressed in white and black polka dot dresses. They all looked so beautiful. Both the twins had stylish sunglasses and one of the girls tried theirs on Severin. Mirka looked terrific for a mother of four ( all under 5 years old ) in a black and white ensemble too.
