Howard and Joan arrived bright and early this morning. Seems like the whole family is flying on the same Air Canada flight 880 from Toronto. It lands at 8:15 am here in Paris, so unfortunately Erik has been having some early mornings on his holiday. I'll go with him tomorrow (I had to be at the house this morning to make sure we could get in. I wasn't just looking for a sleep in. Erik also has a pass that gets him out to the airport, thus saving me from paying the 8euros each way).
Anyway, we all arrived at the apartment that our parents are renting, and it was fun to see their reactions (no details yet, mom and dad still need to be surprised). We quickly got their 8 (!) peices of luggage into the house, and had fun poking around. Our plan for today is to do the grocery shopping for the food that we'll need on Sunday, and pick up the turkeys. The butcher ordered two small ones because apparently the big ones are too dry. We'll let you know.
It's nap time right now. Erik is making up for his early morning, and Howard and Joan are feeling a little jet lagged (mom and dad, make sure you sleep on the plane!), so we'll head back over to their place in a little bit.
Still hard to believe that Christmas is on Sunday! I have to say that despite all the decorations and craziness in Paris, it still doesn't feel like the holidays. Maybe it's because we're just so excited to see everyone.
I hope everyone is getting ready for a nice holiday, and congratulations to all my teacher friends, I know the holidays start today! Have fun!
