Happy Birthday Pumpkin!!

Patrice's birthday was the third of December - 39 and holding! I made enchiladas for a birthday lunch. They turned out great and we all wanted seconds - reserved only for the birthday boy. We sure do miss mexican food! Here are a few pictures of Patrice with the kids on his birthday. In the first picture Alienor was on her tippy toes but we didn't realize it until we moved the kids around a little. We were laughing because she was getting lost in the back behind Margot. Luckily Alienor can laugh about it too. I guess we'll have to start putting Alienor in the front and Margot in the back, even though Alienor is older.

Here are a few pictures from Saint Nicolas here in Leudelange last Saturday 30 Nov. Alienor played the piano for two of the school children's songs that they performed and then she also sang with them. Then Guillaume, Margot and Perceval got to get in line with the group of children that are not in the local school system. Of course that meant that all of the other kids were under 3!! Oh well, it helped us get through the line faster and we have to take advantage of any advantage we have as homeschoolers - which aren't many! Unfortunately, Alienor was at the end of a long line so by the time she made it up to get her bag of goodies from St. Nicolas Patrice has already left with the younger kids and the camera. Oh well.

Here's a picture of all four of the kids with St. Nicolas at Cora. We sure racked up the candy - makes up for the lack of Halloween I guess. It won't work, will try again another time, maybe!
