Chambery Wonderland

It feels like Christmas here in Chambery now that all the Christmas lights are up in town! The only thing missing is the snow, but there is plenty in the mountains.

The fountains were turned off and drained this fall, but now they are decorated with Christmas lights.

All the trees seemed to be decked out in bright lights, especially the little ones. I really like this blue tree outside the corner cafe.

The elephant fountain was even drapped in festive cheer. We don't have a Christmas tree in our apartment, but being able to look out our window or walk down the street to see all the lights is almost as good!

Thanksgiving

This year's Thanksgiving was our smallest yet, with just the two of us. We did have turkey, in the form of turkey fillets, and we had pumpkin pie too, thanks to my mom and dad for bringing over THREE cans on their visit. I made two pies, and took them to my AVF group. For most of them, it was their first taste of pumpkin pie! The rest was ours to have with our dinner. Max made it home from Italy Thanksgiving evening in time to enjoy the rest of our holiday and in time to talk to both sets of family on Skype, which made our day!
