The igloo

We had a white Christmas this year!!!! No one can remember the last time that happened, but it was definitely a LONG time ago!

The kids (that includes Philip and I when it snows...) had a blast building an igloo to rival all igloos.

Click on one of the links below to watch a video that gives you an inside look at the igloo and the fun we had.

The video with subtitles for those of you whose French is rusty

First we built a snow woman, African style.

Then came the igloo...

 Then it snowed again and the igloo got a second room.

Then the cousins (the ones who live nearby) came over and everyone enjoyed the igloo.

Jérémie is home!!!!!

Monday we went to the Brussels airport to welcome home Jérémie. We, meaning all of us, minus Peter and Mélanie who couldn't skip school. The kids hoped to totally embarrass Jérémie at the airport and I think we succeeded.

Here I am, Jérémie's personal assistant with his body guards and his chauffeur.

 These body guards would scare off any paparazzi.

Jérémie's fans couldn't be stopped however!

He even had to sign autographs!

 Jérémie safe and sound and well protected.

Home again at last!

 Supper as a whole family again! Mélanie was taking the picture.
