This is our second Christmas in France and it's proving just as lovely as the first. We're staying with Othman's cousin Jessika and her family. Her two daughters are now 7 and almost 5 and we've had so much fun with them this past week! Here's a report of our Christmas morning.
Christmas Eve saw this tray laid out for Santa... a croissant, chocolate milk, a bag of candy and carrots for the reindeer!
The next morning:
A first peek...
Maman had to work on Christmas morning so Santa left a note, thanking the girls for the snacks and telling them to be patient. (The cord blocking off the present area as seen above helped!) He also left out two well-chosen gifts to occupy their time.
But first, breakfast!
So, as a fire roared in the hearth...
we played with stickerbooks!
And very patiently tried to be patient!
And took silly photos with Papa and Othman.
Finally, mom arrived! So we showed her the gifts...
And then attacked the rest!

Bonus: O's new toy!
