Paris, Family, Macarons and More

The absolute highlight of our trip would have to be meeting family and friends. We travelled three hours south-east of Paris by TGV to meet extended family. They were beautiful, welcoming and kind. It was an absolute honour to meet them.


I also met my blogger friend the lovely Leesa (from News in France blog) and her friend Barbara who is also a blogger:


No visit to Paris would be complete without a tinsy-winsy trip to this French institute:

What beauties hide in this I wonder...

La voila!

Just for my niece...so pretty:

PEACHES!!

Last weekend my gorgeous family came to our house for lunch. I love having them over and it had been way too long since we had had our once typical family gatherings that did not involve a birthday. You know, a 'just for the sake of it' get together. To my darling family members, I love each and every one of you.

One of the highlights (and when my lot gets together, believe me there are a highlight or two!) was watching my 6 month old angel of a niece dig, head first, into a peach which was almost as big as her head. I'll let the pictures do the talking:

When was the last time you got together with your extended family and were there any highlights that you'd care to share?
