This year, I joined our church choir to sing during lessons & carol service.

Ready to feed 10 teens!

Chloe’s birthday party continues and tonight is the party with her friends! 
I went with 16 candles theme for the tablescape and for the party decor, Shane and I blew up 100+ balloons last night to make the balloon arch that matched the color of Chloe’s dress. It took us over three hours and I couldn’t have done it without Shane’s help! Thank you, son!!!

Once again we beat the crowd by going to the Louvre on Thursday evening. There was hardly any wait to see even the Mona Lisa so this time, I lingered littler and took my time a bit. I even went back for the second time. This is my third time visiting this museum and I always leave feeling I needed more time to observe and admire everything… But I’m so glad I got to share this experience with Chloe. 

This morning, I had a breakfast reservation at Le Meurice but we woke up late and missed our reservation time. We got there 45 min late and had no luck getting in… even though we only saw two tables being occupied, they didn’t want to bother trying to squeeze us in…

Disappointed but I tried to shake it off and had a breakfast back at our hotel in Westin (which was still delicious but lacked the decor I wanted), then headed out to explore the city, But first, more photos in the terrace, of course! 😉
