Damien celebrated his very first Christmas in Paris, France with his French family - oh la la. Damien started off the day leisurely doing his eat, poop, play, sleep cycle at Lal's apartment. Around mid-day he got suited up in his trusty bear suit again (after which he pooped just to show everyone who was boss) and hitched a ride on Papa down to his great uncle Jean-Christian's place to meet up with the rest of the family. The pit stop at Jean-Christian's included a little refuel for Damien and Momma and Papa (who couldn't wait for the ever sliding lunch time). In case anyone forgot who was running the show, Damien pooped again as soon as we put his bear suit on to leave! That little guy.
After the pit stop, Damien tested the French public transportation system by taking the metro to a regional train that led to the nice suburbs of Paris. There Damien was welcomed into the home of his great Aunt Anne and met many of his second cousins. After yet another large multi-course meal we "did" Christmas around the tree opening presents while singing Christmas songs in English!! Damien was a present magnet and scored lots of nice presents from handmade dolls and clothing, to French lullabye book and CD. After posing for some family photos, it was time to brave the freezing cold and take the train and metro back to Lal's apartment where the entire Craig crew passed out from the day's activities.
