Even though we will spend the holidays in Switzerland, we set up a small tree in the UK. We used our U.S. lights (120 volt instead of 240v). The tree was brilliant for about ten minutes until the top lights blew out. A few minutes after the photo above the bottom lights blew as well.
Anthony's good friend Darren came to visit, so we thought we would take advantage of the extra hands to venture into the city. Overall it was a successful outing, considering Brooke got sick and threw up all over the museum and restaurant (hence the shirtless photo above). Good parenting prep for Darren, who had a baby strapped to him most of the day and will get his own in a few months.
We've been in Europe since 2007 and have loved the many adventures Switzerland, and now England, have brought us. However our greatest adventures come from raising our four amazing kiddos.
