November & December 2014
| Hooray it's Christmas Time! A lovely & grateful Thanksgiving at the vacation house. We took the opportunity to scout around for investment properties. The Riviera is gorgeous even in winter. I am off to Madrid tomorrow and then we are visiting Stuttgart this coming weekend. We are so excited to be visiting friends in London before Christmas. We miss Avalon whois splitting time between San Diego & Portland. Grateful | Thankful | Blessed 30 November 2014 |
| Serole Christmas Tree BEFORE & AFTER being attacked by Babaloo. He was very proud of the carnage he caused. |
| It was probably pay back for the car ride. He has a carrier but Houdini's his way out. Listening to Christmas music loudly seems to soothe him. |
| Congratulations Zaven! 3rd year of National Honor Society! We are so thankful and proud or our amazing boy - he makes us be better parents. |
| Visiting the Annual Truffle Festival. Love autumn at the vacation house. Below: Visit to the Drocco Vineyard with ASM - LOVE their wine and them. Alba, Italy 1 November |

Milano, Italia Our annual Christmas trek to have prosecco on the terrace of Rinascente. The lights in the Galeria is by far one of the most awe inspiring sights - truly magical. We missed Avalon heaps. He has landed a dream job and is working remotely from Portland, but will be with us next Christmas. 23 dicembre 2014 |
London, England What a fabulous visit with Z&E! Our goals were to spend time with them, see the Christmas lights, eat and drink - hooray we did it! 19-22 December 2014 |
A very lovely Christmas spent in Serole - raclette and cozy fires. I love this view which always makes the long morning runs worth it. 24-28 dicembre 2014 |
