La commode (The chest drawer)

Remember this? 

Well here is Adrien recreating the scene. He was just a little more wabbly then me but we've been working on that big time.

Tante Janine (Aunt Janine)

I have been having computer hard aches so sorry for the lack of posts. Hopefully I'll get it all figured out soon.

Before leaving Paris to head back home we had the visit of Tante Janine. She showered us with gifts and Adrien made sure to show her all his tricks.

 

On January 6 we ate the typical "Galette des Rois" and "picked a King"... Tom won but all Adrien wanted was his crown.

Une ballade dans Paris (A stroll in Paris)

Most of the days Adrien would spend with his grand parents, playing, sleeping but mostly eating.

Tom and I kidnaped him one day so we could show him a bit of the city of light. He had a great time, we took the Metro to the center of town and walked to the Louvre.

Then we walked to the Conciergerie and saw where Marie Antoinette spend her last few weeks before getting guillotined. 

We then crossed the Seine back to see Notre Dame. 

I'd say overall a very good day.

La rencontre des cousins (Meeting his cousins)

After Versailles, we were off to Gien to spend the day with my aunt and cousins so that they by my uncle and an amazing cake from the Boulangerie behind that bakes the most delicious pastries you can imagine.

Versailles

On Sunday we went to have lunch at some friends house in the suburbs and we finishes the afternoon with a visit to Versailles which had a controversial exhibit of Jeff Koons. It was packed but very worth it.

 

Adrien couldn't believe his eyes, at the end it was just too much to look at!

Noel à Paris (Christmas in Paris)

There is so much to say about our wonderful time in Paris. So i'll make little chapters. I can tell you one thing Adrien loved the food and discovered bread. My parents did an amazing job at taking care of him so Tom and I had a good .

 

We had a little Christmas Eve diner the 5 of us and Santa came early so we could take our time and open our gifts as we had company the next day. Hummm Oysters and Salmon! I hope Adrien has a musical ear he got a lot of noise makers.

Chrismas Day we had some friends over and we enjoyed another wonderful meal with foie gras and Buche.

Adrien is taking to drinking in peoples glasses already... wonder if he liked Perrier?

Next adventure... Versailles!

Le Pere Noel (Santa Clauss)

Avant que nous partions pour les vacances, Adrien a rencontré le Père Noël.C'était une très agréable fête mais il était surtout fasciné par cette belle barbe!

Before we left for the holiday Adrien got to meet with Santa. It was a wonderful party but he was mostly fascinated by that beard!
