Christmas

34
How blessed we were to have family join us for Christmas this year! Gant's parents arrived first, then his brother, Dane, followed a few days later. They were up for anything so here we are on the carousel! 



And at the Christmas market 



Eating oysters 


Walking around Clermont

The next day I stayed home with Henry and the rest of the crew went to Mt. Dore for lunch and some exploring. 


Here is their cute little mountain lunch spot.


And some mountain views...


That night we went for a Moroccan dinner at one of our favorite wintertime restaurants, Tente Berber. 


We stopped on the way for some photos next to the big tree and the Ferris wheel in the center of town. 



On Christmas Eve, Gant's sister, Jerah joined us! We picked her up at the airport and hit some of our favorite spots again! 








And here are the brave who did the Ferris Wheel! 
(Everyone but me!) 




Then back to our little apartment for soup, movies, reading etc. 

Gant reading us the Christmas story. 

Hanging out Christmas Day


Bob watching a movie! 

Bike ride around Clermont testing out Hen's new bike from Santa! 




Home for a delicious French and American Christmas dinner complete with Jesus' birthday cake! A French roll cake - called a bûche de Nöel. 


It was such a relaxing day just being together, playing cards, and enjoying a slow pace. What fun!
