Joyeux Noël !

For the first time in 11 years, Frédéric's family decided to spend Christmas all together. We went up to Normandy, where his mom and younger sister live. 

Whoa. Rough look in the morning.

Gala was very excited to get to come with us. 

Frédéric made us a delicious breakfast.


In France, there are crèches everywhere. This one is in an old mill in the center of a village we drove through.
They only add baby Jesus on Christmas morning (or midnight Christmas Eve).


Frédéric, hard at work. 

Frédéric's sister made macarons, and the boys helped.





Yum!

12 years old!

Time flies... this guy turned 12! 

He requested peanut butter pie as his birthday cake.
