PARIS - Christmas Eve

After the long flight, we finally arrived in Paris on the morning of Christmas Eve. It was COLD and overcast. Olivia did not know what hit her; as soon as she was reuinted with her Mami and Papi, they bundled her up in a ski outfit, hats, gloves and a scarf - all for the quick trip to the car! The entire Allegre clan came over to spend the holidays together and there were 13 of us total in the house! Carine, Nicolas, and their sons Leo and Sam got there right after us. Sam is only 2 weeks younger than Olivia. They looked like twins except Sam is a buddha baby and Olivia is kinda Chinese-y.

Here we are with Tati Carine and Tonton Nicolas.

Olivia was quite perturbed at first with the jet-lag and everyone speaking french all the time. She was pretty clingy but she would go to Tonton Herve, Vincent's older brother. She thought she was with her dad! They have very similar voices. This gave us a lot of laughs since every once in a while she would see her dad and she would look up and check out Herve as if she wasn't quite sure what was going on and perhaps we had played a trick on her!


Dinner. For some reason, the Allegre kids all sat on one side of the table. Team A.



Team B ;)
