Oh the weather outside is gorgeous...

I bought tea roses from the little florist down the street when Emili came to visit.



Pumpkin pie, straight from America made in France! Thanks for sending me the mix dad, it looks a little spotty because we added in extra spices. It turned out fantastic. Oh, I also made homemade crust for it that turned out better than the pie itself! I was very proud of myself.



The Cours Mirabeau, lights and all. They're not letting cars drive down it at night anymore because there are too many people out looking at all the little booths of Christmas things.



These are the little booths on the Cours. There's literally 40 of them on the main street, and then another two or three dozen down two different side streets.



They've strung garland and lights across all the side streets around town, I can't even begin to guess how many of them the city hung.



This is another bad night photo, but it's the lifesize Nativity scene on the Cours. It's Mary, Joesph, no Jesus, and a buffalo. Did they translate the old testament wrong in French perhaps?



The Christmas specialty in France is none other than cotton candy. There are literally at least 10 cotton candy stands on the Cours alone. This is a bad photo, but you can see the big puffy wad of cotton candy the kid is holding.
