Over the weekend, we decided we needed to do some house shopping, so we headed out bright and early in hopes of successful shopping- keeping Chris and the kids happy while furniture shopping can be a difficult task! After a few hours, we had both cars loaded with boxes and everyone was still smiling! SUCCESS-
Promise of ice cream for being good at Ikea always seems to work!
We agreed that since it was sunny outside, we should enjoy the day, so we headed to Chamonix, France for the afternoon. It is so beautiful there and we really enjoy walking around the village window shopping and admiring Mont Blanc- We wanted to eat dinner there, which we have discovered our American time of eating dinner around 5:00, becomes quite a problem when trying to find a restaurant to eat at in Europe. Most restaurants don't even open until 7:00, which is when we are putting the girls to bed. We tried many different restaurants and fortunately found one that would serve us food-it was a wonderful afternoon spent in the mountains.
So excited to have found her first chunk of snow!
Arcade game along the street- girls were very entertained-
Playing in the chair lift- getting anxious to hit the slopes!
Sunday was spent putting furniture together and finally clearing out all of the empty boxes from our basement. We bought an artificial Christmas tree yesterday, so the girls decorated the tree- still trying to determine a way to stop Eliza from un-decorating the tree, I tried telling her it was "hot", but that hasn't seemed to work! Since the Swiss don't celebrate Thanksgiving, we decided to jump right to Christmas. We are looking forward to checking out the Christmas markets in the different villages this holiday season.
We still pay attention to Minnesota news, and are hoping everyone survives the first winter storm of the season- this may be a good time to book a trip to Geneva!
Profiter de votre semaine- rester au chaud et en securite!
