Today’s photo is more intended as a greeting card, sent to everyone who reads the blog but with our French friends in mind. So to the Boudeaus and Bertails (and their extended families and friends), we wish you a Joyeux Noël.
The idea for this “greeting card” came from Chloe who orchestrated its creation while Ella was helping Perrin with some serious coloring work taking place. Meanwhile, Greg was busy cooking tonight’s dinner, a delicious ham (oh my gosh, I could just keep eating). Brenda & Melinda were working on side dishes and Michele was talking to her grandchildren. If Dwight wasn’t playing Christmas carols on the piano, he was keeping watch on the proceedings. Me, I did what I do best and have practiced doing for years. I stayed out of the way.
Yes, it’s Christmas Eve at our house with the Shaws, an annual event. Last year it just happened to take place in our house in Nantes.
Merry Christmas, everyone. I trust Santa is treating you well.

Merry Christmas to you and yours, Andy! Great photo of the three girls. It’s fun keeping up with your blog, though you sure eat out more than I do (and at better places!) so I’m jealous. I’ll just enjoy making the rounds vicariously through you, ok? 🙂
Thank you for that picture, we love it. We hope you have a very nice Christmas (The day is almost finished for us and ” Le père Noël” treated us very well “). Hello to Dwight, Michele, Brenda,Greg, Perrin too… We had a very good time with you last year when you were in France.
Bises à vous tous !
Hi american friends.
Merry Christmas to you too. A little late, sorry. We are just back from the wild west of France, Normandy where, as you know, they don’t have access to the internet… Thank you for thinking of us. We did too. I swear. Thanks to the girls for the card, very thougtfull.
Love to everyone, from all of us.
