Last night we were able to finally celebrate Christmas with the girls. I
arrived home with Audray to find James and Maëlle prepared for our
arrival-all lights were off except the Christmas tree and there was
Christmas music playing. They had prepared an apéritif (drinks and
snacks) and were so excited to begin the evening.
We shared conversation over our drinks and then began to open the gifts, starting with the stockings. Everyone, including myself were VERY happy with how generous Santa had been to us. The girls absolutely loved all of their new clothes from Grandpa and Grandma Lutzi. The following pictures is a small glimpse into all of the fabulous-ness!!!

After the gifts were open there was a dance party and a fashion show.
Feeling very, very spoiled and blessed to be showered with gifts, but more importantly feeling so very loved. The following are a few of my absolute favorite items.

My amazing necklace from my parents. Made by my favorite jewelry designer Marcie Jane Designs(pics are hers). She also designed and made the jewelry for our wedding. Marcie, if you are reading this sending a big hug your way!!! |

Capes are all the rage in France and I am so excited to have one :) |

A fun sculpture that doubles as a jewelry holder |

Maybe not a great look for the fashion police but they loved everything so much that they couldn't put enough things on at the same time :) |
|
New slippers for everyone |
We ended the evening with a great meal and some of the holiday treats I
had saved for the girls arrival. It was a wonderful end to our Christmas
2012 celebration.
