FINALLY...Halloween, London, & Paris

I am so sorry!  This post has been delayed for far to long but it hasn't been from lack of trying.  I have been having problems with the site.  Now on to the info! 

We begin this post with a huge thank you to my inlaws!!!  They were taking care of our four legged family member until we could get her to Sweden legally! LOL  After relaxing at the Sawyer Spa in North Carolina our dog has arrived safe and sound and has adjusted really well to life in Sweden...see pic!

Paisley & Mark...Ruff life

I cannot thank Grammy & Pops enough for all they went through to assist us in this DETAILED endeavor but she is now 2months in Sweden and doing great!

We of course could not pass up Halloween just because we are in Sweden.  I have found a local American womens club and we were able to attend their halloween festival!  So our little witch and jedi had tons of fun on Halloweeen!

Now if you know us you know that for the children's birthday we always let them choose to have a party or go somewhere as a family!  Brooklyn was first in Sweden and typically we would go camping or amusement park...what did Brooklyn want to do...go to Paris!!!  So what did we do in true European form...we took her to Paris! LOL  IT is very affordable to fly around here and I said "why not"!  On our journey we decided to fly to London and spend a few days, take the Eurostar to Paris and enjoy a few days and then fly home!  We had a blast!  We went in November even though B's birthday is next week b/c they had a week off of school.  Here are some of our photos!  Mind you we took over 200 so this truly is just a glimpse.

The kids with a Beef Eater at the Tower of London

No this is not the London Bridge,it is the Tower Bridge

My boys walking along the water in London!

B & Z with Big Ben in the Background

By the way I do know Zach's face is rather beat up in all the photos!  He had a bit of an accindent on his bike the day before we left.  It had nothing to do with the fact that he was under Daddy's supervision at the time! :)



Now another sawyer past time!  Trying icecream all over Europe!  This was in Harrod's in London!  Too much fun!

Now onto PARIS!!

They make the Eiffel Glitter at around 6ish

Brooklyn in front of the Louvre!

We have seen the actual Mona Lisa!

We took a trip out of town to Versailles! I am so glad we did!  The gardens are hundreds of acres and just stunning!

My hunchbacks in front of Notre Dame!

Sorry about the pic being on it's side!

Finally our trip up to the Summit of the Eiffel Tower!!

The kids still say the coolest thing was that they had lunch and used the toilet on the Eiffel Tower!  Here we are on the top!  Brooklyn had to get a beret of course!  The following photo was by far my favorite!  BRookln had to take it and nothing is more romantic than your photographer going "oh GROSS"!! 

Seriously that is precious! Kissing my Honey on the Eiffell Tower!



If i had to be honest I LOVED London so much more!  Paris is great to experience but London was just so much more for me! Not to mention the fact that we could communicate and read everything for the first time in 6 months!  London just really was a fabulous experience! 

When the Sawyer's do a trip we do a trip...we walk and see all the main sights!  We saw so much more but I rather not bore you to tears!  Life in Sweden is going great!  We currently have about a foot and a half of snow on the ground and are still walking to school and everywhere else!  We have learned to bundle up and get out in it!  I just cannot be cooped up all winter! We have just returned from a trip to Vienna, Austria!  Mark wanted to go for his birthday so I will post those photos soon I promise! It was by far our favorite trip yet!

With the holidays here I just want to wish all our friends and family a very Merry Christmas!  We love you all and wish you the best this season! I have recieved so many lovely emails and please know that we cherish any news from home!  We love you all!
