Christmas Weekending..

our weekends are fast, fun and full.

with christmas coming...

even more so!

i'm really looking forward

to our first christmas in paris!

i can't remember what we did

friday night.

this is precisely why

i blog.

saturday we all headed

out to the kids school.

the annual holiday boutique

was going on and 

hannah was working it.

she joined the romania club

and was selling raffle tickets.

my crafty friend nicky 

selling her pillows.

the one she's holding

is the one i bought!

i love it.

when are we sewing nicky?? 

:)

later that day

the two little boys and i

went out with a friend.

steve had to work 

which was a bummer,

but we made the best of it.

we drove out to 

Les fermes de Gally.

I loved this place!

Christmas tree farm,

market with amazing produce,

meat, cheese, wine, honey..you name it

it's there.

a beautiful home and garden section

and plenty of christmas decorations.

sunday steve and i started 

christmas shopping.

we snuck out for a few 

hours in the afternoon

and braved the toys r us.

yes, there is a toys r us here.

there is also the gap,

hollister, abercrombie and fitch.

i'm crossing my fingers

j.crew makes it over here.

sunday evening we all piled

in the car and drove across town

to our favorite italian place.

when we were living in the hotel

this past summer, we would 

eat here almost nightly.

i brought my camera

 because on the way home

we drove down

rue de rivoli and 

boulevard haussmann.

i decided that this week

griff and i will brave the metro

to look at the window displays.

paris at night

at christmas time 

is amazing.
