Blasphemy
Before Eva was born we have exiled Chris from his office to the hallway and gave her his room. This means that her crib and changing table are in there along with some posters from when it was still Chris' office, including "The Annunciation" by Van Eyck.
As far as Eva is concerned Mary is mommy and Gabriel is daddy and the holy spirit is 'tweet tweeet birdy'. While completely blasphemous, I think it is really cute for her to make that connection - because that was really her on her own deciding to call them mommy and daddy. Maybe it is because she has been looking obsessively at our wedding pictures, so she just carried that over to this painting.
Maybe in a couple of years whe will actually understand when Chris tells her 'no, the daddy is up there and Gabriel is just a messenger'...
