Christmas Eve in Paris

It's Christmas in Paris. While you are all taking care of last minute things, we were embracing our chance to spend our holiday in whole new world. Our Christmas Eve was filled with time together, last minute preparations and a mini adventure. After our traditional McMenamin Chowder, we ventured out to see how Paris spends their Christmas Eve. We were surprised to see that at 7:30pm there were still shops open and people finishing last minute shopping. We finished our stroll by finally going up the Eiffel Tour. It was a short worthwhile wait in line, and despite our hesitations was not a disappointment. Beautiful views of the city, lovers kissing and the girls enjoyed writing their name in the ice bar on the first level (unfortunately it was closed).

The girls are now tucked tightly in bed. After this post, we are settling into some Champagne by the fire, waiting for Santa, and listening to "The Shepherd".

We are thinking of you.
