I thought I was going to the airport to pick up my good friend, Emily, BUT instead I got my friend Randy too!! They've kept the surprise from me for many many months...and I had NO CLUE! The next picture is of Emily eating a nutella and banana crepe on the bus.
we hit lots of touristy spot including lunch at one of my favorite cafes near Notre Dame. Below is a picture of the bread line at our favorite bakery in the neighborhood just before lunch on Sunday. Randy and Emily quickly became fans of this place too. I can't even begin to explain how cold and windy it was standing there.
Eloise's adorable outfit was a baby gift from Randy
Sacre Coeur
The babe was quite a trooper being hauled all over the city and even in the snow one day!
This is the Christmas decorations of one of the huge and fancy department stores, Gallaries Lafayette
We spent a day starting at the Arc de Triumph and shopped our way down the Champs Elysees. There was a Christmas market set up along the bottom of the avenue with crafts, gifts, traditional french food and hot wine.
Randy drooling over all the delicious baked goods in La Duree
The Eifel Tower is blue for 6 months while France is the president of the European Union. There is a ring of gold stars on the other side of the tower to make it look like the EU flag.
We went out to dinner at our favorite brasserie near our apartment for a french classic of steak and fries. delicious.

how much fun is that!?
Eloise IS her mother's daughter - she looks so good in red.
Can't wait for you to come - we're all ready for you.
From Em: Good recap Bethy...you're such a proficient blogger. :-) Give the lobster a kiss for me.
