Santa claus is coming to town....

Well, almost finished with the Christmas shopping......

The weather has turned colder and we have a wee sprinkling of snow.  Zizou was very confused this afternoon on our walk when he tried to drink from a frozen puddle!

Granny and Granda arriving tomorrow, yippee.

Mia's class put on a Christmas show last night then we had coffee and cakes in the classroom.  All the children were dressed in white and sang lovely songs.

Pepperkakehus/Gingerbread House

Look what we made!!  Yes that is a shark on the roof, or possibly a whale, we're not sure.

Bon weekend

We're back from a lovely weekend trip to Paris.  It rained but somehow we always managed to be inside during the rain showers.  Brunch at La Duree with Lotta was lovely.  Lots of shopping.......

Dinner on Friday night at Maison Blanche (view of the sparkly Eiffel Tower), see pictures of my starter and dessert (main course was not so pretty so didn't take a picture of that!).

Christmas tree under the dome inside Galeries Lafayette

Ben, Mia and Jarle are now all vaccinated against the dreaded swineflu.  Sore arms and tiredness are the side effects.

Off to Paris

tomorrow!

We are catching a plane to Paris in the morning.  Mia will be staying overnight with her good friend Pheobe then going to the holiday boutique at school on Saturday.  Meanwhile, we plan to shop and enjoy Paris, can't wait.....  Then Saturday night, somewhere nice for dinner I hope and Sunday, the world is our oyster, or at least Paris is!  Back to Stavanger on Monday.  Watch this space.
