One Christmas was not enough for little Damien. He got two Christmas celebrations. After Christmas in Paris, little D took the high speed train from Paris to Lyon in First Class (after waiting over an hour for the late train in the FREEZING train station). The day after his arrival in Lyon, little D was greeted by more cousins! This time Papa's cousins Benu and Maude and their respective children (Collen, Timothee, Lola and Zoe). The little cousins were excited to meet little D and he was quite intrigued as well. After the initial meet and greet, the little cousins began chanting presents, presents (in French of course) and so presents were exchanged. Afterwards, the marvelous Chef Maurice prepared us another gormet meal of chicken with crawfish, potato gratin, fried potatoes (for the lactose intollerant Momma) and chicken/roasted chestnut puree. After the big meal, the entire clan huddled around the TV to watch a hilarious French comedy that was gifted to Momma and Papa.

My big American cousin is soo funny.
Cousin Maud with little D. She's expecting her third child (and barely shows it - little French babies!).
Zoe with little D.
Damien has now discovered how to put his hands in his mouth. He now spends a good deal of the day gnawing on his hands and trying to stick his whole hand in his mouth.
The Christmas loot!
