The Big Day!!

Hey!!

Look what happened when Santa came down the chimney!!!

Evidence!!!!

Whoa!!! (as heard from upstairs while we are still snoozing upstairs...)

Look at ALL this stuff!!

(I promised myself I would keep it down to a dull roar..but as usual it always seems to get away from me...)



Lily opening up a gift with enclosed Barbie doll clothes from Mommie's old things...

made for me by MY mom...

(we won't even go into how long ago THAT was...)

Preparation for the big day

Doing a little last minute shopping at the Dijon markets for the big feed...*er*... um meal

Food is pretty important here like at home...extra hours...

My favourite veggie stall...

Figures afer 2 1/2 years of coming almost every week...

They finally figured out we are regulars and offered me a discount card...



Kiddie cake...

The night before Christmas...

I know it is a little after the fact...better late than never...no?

The children preparing Santa and the reindeer's snack...

let's see, some apple and carrots and....

I guess there will be some cookies and a touch of milk.

Oh yeah, classic,

there is the milk, cookies and a nicely peeled carrot.

Reading Santa is coming to town... It looks pretty intense no?

HEY!!!! ....

Who's that?
