Christmas eve was so great. We had our Christmas eve dinner and had tons of ham and mashed potatoes, lots of veggies, and shloer (like martinelli's). We invited several people over for dinner but no one showed up so we had a lot of left overs. We went with our friends, the Cave's, to her father's village. They have a tradition to come together as a village and sing carols at the town center. It was awesome. There was a brass band, lights, christmas tree, and a full town center. It was a perfect scene with the snow on the ground and Eliza and new best friend Evie singing and playing around. We went back to Louise's family's home for hot cocoa, roasted chestnuts and chocolate. It was such a great evening with warm memories.
Christmas morning was great. We have a video of the first 10 minutes of the morning so you can get an idea of our morning. Eliza has been looking forward to a blue crown and a pink trumpet. She has been asking for them for months so it was exciting to see her eyes when she finally got her desire. She wore the crown all day and carried her trumpet everywhere and even slept with it.

I love Christmas when something as small as a princess juice box makes Eliza happy.
I hope that eveyone had a great, safe, and happy Christmas filled with many warm memories.

those are darling pictures and it sounds like you made some great memories.
I wish my kids only wanted a crown and a trumpet.
We have been talking about Eliza while here in Utah. She is famous for her sweet cute dancing self.
WOW!! What a fairytale Christmas...gathered around a towncenter singing Christmas carols in a small village. Wish we could have been there with you! Please tell Zaza "Happy Birthday" for us...sure sad we couldn't be there either. Let's see if we can get on skype tomorrow!
How fun to see the picture of those little eyes seeing their gifts from Santa. Those are the times I wish we could be there to share. I LOVED the idea of caroling in the city square! That would be so fun to do. I'm glad you have some good friends there that involve you in their customs. Great memories!!! (But we missed you SO much here!!)
