Minnesota Trip
Troy got some Holiday time so we decided to head to MN to stay with his brother in his new place! Jeremy is "holding" our furniture for us-so it kind of feels like home here.
We had a wonderful time and even caught a Vikings game. My first one.

Amsterdam for the Day
So the day before we flew out of the Netherlands we decided to go up to Amsterdam for the day. We did tons of walking around-but forgot the camera. LOL. We had been there before so we just revisited some places but AGAIN we miss the Ann Frank house being open. Looks like we will have to come back!

Christmas in Paris
We decided to take a long weekend trip to Paris for our first married Christmas. Since we drove down we got there in the afternoon evening. Troy did not go with me to the Moulin Rouge Show last time I was in Paris so we decided to catch the evening show. There are two shows a night. The first one is dinner and the show. The second one is the show but this one is topless (think showgirls in Las Vegas). No pictures are allowed IN the moulin Rouge.
The next day (Christmas Eve) we decided to walk around town. There was not any snow on the ground but it sure was cold. We decided not to walk through the Louve again but we did go see the famous pyramid at the Louve.
Then we walked over to the Eiffel tower. We have seen in once before in 2001 when we were friends and backpacking. This time in honor of the holidays they had a lights in the shape of a Christmas tree hanging up side down in side the tower. 
Also this time it was open and we were able to go up it! (Last time it was a national holiday and it was closed). So we WALKED up the Eiffel tower, and back down...that is one heck of a climb. 674 steps to the second level!!!
I know everyone says this thing is suppose to be beautiful, but we disagree! It looks like a big oversized power tower during the day. At night however it is beautifull when the lights are on. Hows this for our Christmas Light show!?
Here is a video of what the lights do--sorry its sideways LOL...
So here is what we didn't plan for. Christmas day EVERYTHING is closed. HAHAHA This include resturants. So we manage to find a couple gas stations with snacks and a liquor store open and had a little junkfood and champagne party in our hotel room...it was actually wonderful!

Roadtrip
Troy got off of work early today so we took a road-trip down to Paris! On the way down we got to talking...
As most of you know this is our first Christmas together as husband/wife. So we were discussing some of the things we loved/hated about how our families do Christmas. So i would like a little discussion. What is your favorite holiday tradition and what is the one that drives you crazy? Have you been an adult for many years but "Santa" still comes? Does that crazy aunt still feel like she needs to squeeze your checks even at your age? Or any stories of a Christmas you remember the best. I would love to hear everything you got!
