I have just about thawed out now from our very wintry, yet completely magical, trip to Disneyland Paris. This was our second trip and although I do prefer the sunnier, much warmer days in Orlando, for a Disney fix it was fantastic!!
We set off on the Eurostar for our 2 hour journey armed with magazines, games and treats to amuse little lady!! Straight off the train and into the park could not be easier.
Walking up Main street and seeing the castle makes me dream of being a Princess!! It's festive, bustling and magical!! 'Snow' falls and Christmas music plays and the smell of freshly baked cookies fills the air!
The parks were really crowded over the weekend but we made the most of the shows and parades ..... Mickey Brioche and a hot chocolate was the perfect winter warmer!
We stayed at Hotel Cheyenne, with amazing attention to detail on the theming, from decor inside and out to costumes and music. It was perfectly cosy and such a short walk to the parks and restaurants was a bonus when my feet had had enough!!
I bought myself a pair of SnowJoggers www.snowjoggers.org for the trip... Snugly toots for me in the snow!!
We had he most wonderful trip, tiny smiled non stop for 5 days! We were practically ice sculptures by the time we got into Santa's grotto but it was totally worth every second of chill. Tiny sat with Santa & told him what was on her Christmas list......A moment to be treasured.
We came home and busied ourselves with decorating. All the decorations were up & ready for the first day of advent...
I'm now writing a list for the Christmas food shop and will be soon putting my order in at the butchers..... I am super excited to be cooking my niece her first Christmas dinner this year too!
I treasure my time in the kitchen over Christmas - solitary time to make sweet treats or prepare vegetables, I'm not fussy what I'm doing as long as the carols are playing and the wine is chilled!!
Coming soon.....seasonal recipes & decorating :)
Let's all get ready for Santa!!!
Big hugs
