First Christmas in Paris


we've been enjoying much family time.
it is wonderful to have us all home
together with no where to go.

christmas eve we went to mass
at notre dame. 
it was beautiful and peaceful
and hopefully a new tradition 
for us while we are here in paris.

after mass we went out for a 
family dinner and then
drove by the eiffel tower...
just in time to see it sparkle.








christmas day was just perfect.

we have so much to be 
thankful for.

  1. Merry Christmas! Isn't it just wonderful being surrounded by our families at Christmas?! And to attend Notre Dame on Christmas eve... beautiful! We just had our first France trip meeting... it looks like there will be no time for any of the markets. This makes me a little sad but that is okay as it will be an experience shared with our middle son that I may not have otherwise gotten. As of yet we do not know where we will be staying...

    Have a wonderful New Year and enjoy the holiday break! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!

  12. How wonderful. Years ago when I worked in London, we headed to Brompton Oratory for midnight Mass. It was very special to be in such a beautiful setting. I can only imagine what it would have been like in Notre Dame.
