Christmas Pictures

Me probably telling a story with my whole body haha. Aka acting it out!
Yes I have a shirt on!
Some sort of discussion going on...
Oh my gosh this baguette was amazing!
BAHAHAHAHA! Look what I did to her eye!
Laughing once again!
Who knows!
I was laughing really hard about something.



So here is the story with the chair. So Enrique and I were "fighting" like we do and so I went to sit by myself in this chair and he came over and tips me back but is holding onto it. I told him if he let me fall I was going to kill him. Well the chair broke and both of us ended up in the cold dirt. He's dead now.

Alisha was taking a picture of the thing behind me and I ruined it.
In front of the Opera House.
Um I lost my balance, fell and kinda got stuck at their hotel...
We were really scared on the metro because the lights started flickering.
The Louvre
Shopping in Paris was quite fun witht his girl.
She had no idea I was taking this picture haha



I was so captivated by this!


I love this sculpture at the Pantheon and the way the sun hit it was magical!

Waiting for Enrique, Juliana and Juan on the Champs-Elysees.
I've always wanted to be kissed under the Eiffel Tower... not exactly how I imagined it happening but can't be picky I guess =D


My Christmas Eve outfit.
Me and Alisha

I love this girl
She was saying something dumb I'm sure haha.
Enrique, Juliana and Me on Christmas Eve with their family.

"I'll Be Home For Christmas" Wait! NO I Won't! Dang!

"It says December 25th on my phone, but I just don't believe it." -Alisha. Well it has been a pretty fun time in Paris so far but definitely doesn't feel like Christmas unfortunately. But Paris has been nice. Oh and I woke up on Wednesday with a voicemail from one of my bestest friends, Sara Faith, telling me she is ENGAGED! I guess I can say I wasn't too surprised that she is because we all knew it was going to happen but I was so happy she called me, even though I missed it. So CONGRATS BESTEST FRIEND! Right now I'm really tired and don't really want to do this but I'm waiting for Alisha to get out of the shower so I can take one and go to bed haha. But Tuesday I had the day off so I packed for Paris and then had the 5 hour car ride here and that really pretty much sucked! I met up with Juliana and Enrique near the Eiffel Tower after be asked out by a 70 year old man!!! I stayed the night with them at the hotel.

The next morning I went with them and their family to walk around the town until I picked up Alisha at the train station. We came to Sophie's mom's house here in Paris and then went to my first Catholic mass. And it was in French of course. That was interesting haha. We helped wrap a few presents and then went to bed.

Alisha and I slept in until 11 and then got dressed and when all the family came there was a mad rush to the living room to see what Santa brought. I had already opened what my mom sent me and that was AWESOME! I could not believe how much she fit in one box. I got mistletoe, pjs, shirts, a watch, stockings, and everything else you can imagine haha! Then Santa brought me a cookbook, chocolate, a Paris guide, a Barcelona guide, a necklace and peanut butter! Our lunch started at around two and when Alisha and I left the house at 5 they were still going to have salad, cheese and dessert. Insane! We went to the Eiffel Tower so Alisha could see it and then me Enrique, Juliana and Juan on the Champs-Elyses. We walked around for a while and saw stuff and then Alisha and I came home and now I'm going to bed. Good night =D and Merry Christmas!

So the rest of last week, let's see...
Wednesday I had all three girls by myself but the day went surprisingly quite smooth. No huge tantrums or fights. After dinner I watched some more episodes of Heroes and then went to bed really early.

Thursday we had a Christmas party in class; I think the French really like to party. I fed the girls and then Juliana and I went swimming and saw the hot swim teachers. I drool way too much here in Europe! They are just dreamy! I love the pants that European guys wear, they are just always nice and usually make their butts look good =D. Not that I was looking or anything... I picked up Ariadne, Aurore and Maurine and brought them home. I fed them dinner while Sophie did some more Christmas shopping. Wow what a night. The girls wanted to all sleep together and we had some issues with that so when Sophie got home I let her finalize everything. I think I went to Juliana and Enrique's because that is usually the schedule but I honestly can't remember. Wow that is bad. Maybe I didn't. Who knows!

Friday I slept in and then Alisha and I went to the grocery store for the lady down the road. It was quite the list of groceries and took a bit of time. After that I polished silver for her for two hours. That night Alisha and I picked up Milly (a girl from my french class, she's an au pair from Cancun). We met up with Lauren, Sally and Caitlin at Sip for some dancing. I was a bit bored because the music wasn't what I'm used to dancing. So I suggested we go to Bypass but some wanted to stay there so we split up. Alisha, Milly and I went to Bypass. We get in there and two minutes after we got on the dance floor I saw a guy that looked really familiar. At first I thought he was maybe a guy I had danced with previously and then it hit me!!! It was the SWIM TEACHER from the pool!!! I was seriously freaking out!! So he walked by me to his friends and I was bound and determined to dance with him but he left two minutes later. I was pretty much devastated! So we stayed for a bit longer but the other girls were pretty tired so it wasn't as long as I would have liked.

Saturday I went shopping with Alisha in Lausanne so she could get some boots. After that I babysat for an American family until about 12:30 a.m. I called Juliana and Enrique and they told me to come over so they could start the party. They had had people that their dad works with over for dinner. We just hung out and chatted and laughed like crazy people. We were all in Enrique's room talking and "Good Old Fashion Lover Boy" by Queen came on and Juliana being the crazy girl she is says, "Aww another great classic by the Beatles." Oh my goodness we all just about lost it! I don't think I've laughed that hard since Amsterdam! It was sooooo funny because she always gets those two confused somehow.

Sunday I hung out with Juliana and Enrique all day. We watched a movie and just did a bunch of nothing.

Right now Ines and I are getting ready to finish watching "The Emperor's New Groove". You can see Mt. Blanc out the window and the sun is out!! Ariadne is at a friend's house and Aurore is down for a nap. Later gator!
