European Holiday

Dec. 22-25: This was not only Mateo's first trip to Europe (at 10 months of age), but also his first Christmas. We were blessed with safe travel, beautiful weather, and the lack of huge tourist crowds. It would have been nice to have had more time in Paris, but we needed to get to Brussels to see Nina who was flying in from Copenhagen. We were all excited to be seeing her. Mateo did great on the flight (i.e. he slept the entire way) and was such a trooper throughout the trip. This was also Ric's first trip to Paris, France, and with all his resistance before even leaving the United States, he actually wished we were spending the entire 10 days there, once he got a taste of the City of Lights.
