Easter!

Carson was very excited for Easter morning to come. He knew, because we've been talking about it, that he was going to get a present from the Easter Bunny! Presents are always a good thing in Carson's world. When he woke up that morning (bright and early) and the first words out of his mouth were "I get my present now...it downstairs!" He came downstairs and his eyes lit up! "Cannnny!!!" So exciting! Carson did pretty well this easter. He got an Easter bowl from Mommy and Daddy. No basket this year...they don't have "Easter Baskets" here in France. So we had to improvise. In his "bowl" he got some candy, a few toys and a Toy Story sticker book! It was a big hit! He got an easter package from Nanna and Papa with a Wubbzy movie, fruit snacks and stickers! He also got another package from Grandma and Keecaw with Pinocchio, Bolt, a chocolate bunny and a stuffed animal! Pretty lucky guy! Easter was a lazy day for us, Carson ate candy for breakfast and we watched his new movies! Ryan had the next day off from work because it's a holiday over here. We all made another trip to Disney Land. This time we got to ride lots more rides and had a really great day! Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter too!

We went to Disney Land Paris on Sunday. It's about a 35 minute train ride to the park. We bought year long passes so we can go back several more times while we're here. The park is very similar to the Florida park, it's just a much smaller version. We only rode a couple of the rides... the lines were super long. The day we went was one of the first really nice weekend days we've had this season, so EVERYBODY had the same idea we did. Carson was really excited to meet the characters. He's been obsessed with Toy Story since December. He got to meet Woody and Jessie!!! He also loved riding the Buzz Lightyear ride. We had a great day but were all very worn out by the end. Family fun sure takes it out of you! Next time we head out there we're going to check out the other park they have next to the main park. It's called Walt Disney Studios and has all the big rides for Daddy!

Date Night!

Anniversary night!!!

Le Chalet des Iles.

Sunday April 5th was Ryan and my 6 year anniversary. On the 4th we had our babysitter come over to watch Carson so we could go out for the evening to celebrate. We made reservations at a restaurant that I had read was fun and romantic. It definitely was both! This restaurant is located in the Bois De Boulogne the largest park in Paris. It sits on the center of an island in the middle of a beautiful lake. The only way to get to the restaurant is to take a boat over. The inside of the restaurant was beautiful with chandeliers and large windows that overlooked the water. They had a piano player who played lots of recognizable music. He played the Beatles, some current music and even Stairway To Heaven! Our meal was wonderful and our waiter was funny. This was the best meal I've had in Paris and hope to get to come back again sometime soon! It was a wonderful night with my amazing husband. It's been 6 years of marriage and couldn't be happier. It's been an adventure so far and I can't wait to see what's in store for us down the road!

Nana and Papa come to Paris!

My Mom and Dad came to visit for two weeks at the beginning of March. We had a great time with them. We tried to cram in as much of Paris as we could during their visit. We saw lots of the major sites and hit up lots of museums! Here are some pictures of their visit!
