Diner de Noel

Last night was a big one for the children at Lycee Van Gogh in Amsterdam (our little french school).  It was le diner de noel.  All the kids fancy up, and ride to school at night, to have dinner in their classroom with their teachers and buddies.  It was so sweet.  The school was transformed, candles burning (yes, real ones, lots of them), music playing, twinkle lights...

You know its a big occasion if W opts to wear something other than a football jersey or "bad guy shirt".

I'm so thankful that P believes that when it comes to fashion (and everything else) more is more, just like her mama.

can you feel the holiday excitement?

A shoutout to my friend HB for snapping this photo of us with my sleigh...all lit up with twinkle lights for christmas.  This was taken right in front of P's classroom after the dinner was over.

La vie est belle, especially with twinkle lights and holiday decor all over...fa la la la la la....
