US Winter Trip

Another Christmas, another wonderful trip back to the US. As always, it was busy but fun-filled. We are so thankful we could spend time with as many family and friends as we did, and of course, eat those foods we've been missing!

Christmas Fun in Paris

I'm pretty behind on posts, so it's a good thing I've got these gloomy January days ahead of me to catch up! {Also exploring Paris is not high on my list of things to do right now in light of the terrorist attacks over the past several days. Don't worry, we're safe, but it's a little unnerving, especially as we hear news of the second hostage situation in Paris today.} This is a post I meant to get done before we left for the US, but when a nasty cold knocked me on the couch for 4 days before we left, well, it didn't!

Christmas in the US

I'm finally feeling back in the swing of things here in Paris, so it's time to update on our most recent trip--the United States!  It feels a bit strange to be writing a blog post about a trip to the US, but here we go!

I was lucky enough to be able to spend a month back, and Nick about 3 weeks.  We did a lot, but it was busy seeing everyone and enjoying all our favorites again!  Be sure to check out all of our pictures from the US trip here.

A Paris Noel

It seems that every new season that arrives in Paris becomes my favorite, but I have to say Christmas season may be my ultimate favorite!  The lights, decorations, and festivities are everywhere and start early to put you in the Christmas spirit.  {Also the fact that there's no Thanksgiving probably has something to do with it too.}

Here's a little glimpse of what Paris is like in this festive season.
