Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Bonjour! I know the updates have been few and far between, and my good intentions of writing more frequently haven't been realized. So that's unfortunate. But here we are- Thanksgiving day and yours truly is writing from Paris. 

I don't remember how in-detail I went last time around, but in case you didn't know- Micky and Minnie once again took the kids, as well as myself and my friend, Jeff, to Paris for the Thanksgiving week. 

We haven't done a ton of sightseeing [We've been sort of living the life of a Parisian- walking around the city, shopping, etc] but that will all be changing *today*. The fam is heading off for a day trip, which means we are going to do all the "tourist must-see" activities that we can possibly cram in. (I suppose I'll discuss that after it happens, so as to provide evidence and not just a long list of the possible activities). 

So far it's been wonderful- morning walks to the gardens, and past the Louvre (before it all gets so busy and crowded!), coffees and fresh baked bread, shops, long chats. Just a very relaxing time. 

Yesterday we actually went to the circus, and Jeff and Jack were both selected from the audience to participate. Thank goodness it was just boys- I think I would've gone into full-fledged panic if I was ever called upon. (Not that Jeff loved it- but better him than me!) 

Anyhow, time to shower and get a move on- updates to come! I will leave you with a taste of pics for your personal enjoyment!

For now, au revoir!
