We kept very busy in the weeks leading up to Christmas this year.  We made several trips to Place de Jaude so the kids could ride the carnival rides.  One night Ryan and I went out to a very very delicious dinner, where I ordered risotto with truffle and then we rode the Ferris Wheel.  It was so beautiful overlooking the town at night!  My friend Emily had her annual cookie decorating party with a couple of our friends, and my friend Katie threw the annual expat ornament exchange party with a big group of ladies.  And of course, the kids had fun decorating the apartment for Christmas and making a gingerbread house.  It’s almost Christmas!
