Fête des lumières

So last weekend Rachel and I headed to Lyon to see the "festival of lights". We woke up bright and early last Saturday to 14inches of snow but we headed to the train station anyway hoping to caught the 7:20 train out of Albertville but unfortunately the early train was cancelled. So we just headed over to the cafe to wait for the next train..


And naturally the second train was cancelled too. Apparently this is the most snow Albertville has got over night in over 25years or something. No wonder the first two trains were cancelled but lucky us the 12 o'clock train to Lyon was still going. 


Our wait for the third train was totally worth it. We ate at a McDonald's, found a starbucks, went shopping, and saw the biggest light festival of the french alps! 



It was a great start for the french alp Christmas season!

Merry Christmas!

Happy Birthday, mom!

Happy Birthday, mom! I love you! 


p.s. Don't worry. I am taking my vitamins and staying hydrated. I should be over this cold in no time. ... Just spending all my extra time calling you at random hours of the night, while trying to calm down four hyper active kids, and spending my other extra time taking naps and watching boy meets world on youtube...don't worry about me :) hehe. I love you!
