| This year my sleep was interupted a couple of times Christmas Morning. The little on woke, having a nightmare at 3am and then the big one woke at 6am telling me that Santa had made a delivery. |
 |
| I went back to bed and got up at 8.30am, missing the big un-wrapping and just in time for a couple of photos. |
 |
| Our Tree! |
 |
| The table for Christmas Eve. |
 |
| The eldest boy. |
 |
| Two boys. |
 |
| Almost a heart. |
 |
| Running around the table. |
 |
| Two boys. |
 |
| The three of us, while someone has a wobbily under the table. |
 |
| All of us. |
 |
| Mmm ice cream bûche. |
 |
| Ice Cream. |
 |
| Fun moments. |
 |
| Santa has left the building! |
 |
| Last Friday, I had a chance to meet a friend at Beaugrenelle, in the 15th, Paris. When I first was in Paris in 2003, this was a run down 1970's architectural embarrassment. But today it's very slick and shiny. Glass can hide so many architectural faults underneath. |
 |
| My Friend and I had a great Mexican feast, at Chipotle's Mexican Grill. |
 |
| This is a view towards the Seine River, unfortunately I cut off the "Statue of Liberty", which normally you can see. Opps, which means I will have to go back for more pictures and also to explore all of the shops. |
 |
| Thay have lots of shops, the usual chain shops and a Marks and Spencer... |
 |
| This afternoon we had an appointment at Hubby's work, the kids Christmas party. Here we are waiting for the magic show. |
 |
| After the magic show and food, we waited to have photos with Santa. The big brother was okay with Santa. But the little one is still a bit scared. |
 |
| The outdoor activities, walking back to the car... the real big toys. |
 |
| A big army boy. |
 |
| Opps here he is again... |
 |
| This is what I'm interested in, the light and patterns. |
 |
| Boys toys. |
 |
| Inspection time. |
 |
| The army boy again. |
 |
| This one is for the train sign. |
 |
| Here are balls I decorated with pins and sequins. I have a few more to make, almost like art-therapy in front of the TV. |

| Here I some birds that I sewed from a pattern made from Odlie Bailloeul. Here is a link to her website... | odile bailloeul |
 |
| Close up of those birds. |
 | |
| Yesterday I went to Paris to see an art thingo, but I got my dates mixed up, (silly me). So, I walked around different places and shops. It was so busy near Galleries Lafayette and Printemps. It was nuts walking near the decorated windows. |
 |
| I love these old passageways. |
 |
| They have interesting things to see... |
 |
| All views of Sacre Coeur, make me happy. |
 |
| Some of the Chistmas lights. |
 |
| From the 9th floor at Printemps (maison store), there is a free view of Paris or you can buy a hot chocolate to warm yourself up, like I did. One of my favorite places to visit. |
 |
| View of the Opera. |
 |
| Lots of other photographers were waiting for the sunset classic photo of the Eiffel Tower, but I was eager to continue on my walk about. |
 |
| Madeline. |
 |
| Famous roof tops of Paris, with some cranes at Les Halles. |
