Gammie and Grampi are in the house!!!

Maya's best birthday gift this year was having Gammie and Grampi here in France at our house!!!!  And boy, do we miss them, since they have left.  Here are pictures from some of the fun stuff that we did while they were here.  Let me tell you, we kept them BUSY!!
The day after they arrived, they came to see Maya at her ice skating lesson.  Here are her good friends from her class:

The next day was Maya's Halloween Party that Gammie came with us to celebrate.  Maya finally got to wear her Cinderella costume, as we were unable to go last year.  She won a 1st place for her costume. SHe still is a princess:

Grampi, your cramping my picture :)

Party Time!

Then, Monday morning, we were off for a tour of the south!  We were very lucky to have had good weather almost the whole time that we were there:

As soon as we stop by Grenoble after the south, we were off to Azé.  We had a good time, but were sad, as it was to be the whole family, but due to to an accident (fortunately not to bad) Christophe's family was unable to make it. We started Maya's birthday celebration there and it seemed to continue for almost 3 weeks:

Pumkin Time!

OK, late again updating the blog.  It has been crazy, so I will catch up with one event every few days.

So, we are on our Maya's 4th (JM's 9th, Sharon 8th), but since JM discovered a pumpkin festival 5 years ago, it has become a family tradition that we love and adore that we share with Omi and Grand-Père too.

First, Maya and Mommy had to drive to pick up Daddy, where he was working for a few weeks, and took a little stop to check out the crocodiles.  We had fun, but crocodiles don't do much.  Her favorite was the turtles!  She wasn't crazy about the birds.

Then after picking up Daddy, we headed to Gréoux-les-Bains and during our visit went to the Pumpkin Fair:

The next day we headed down to the French Riviera city, Cassis.  It was beautiful.  We took a boat ride, then Maya and Daddy took a dip in the sea.

Our loot from the fair! Dig In!!
