Echange d'ornements (Ornament exchange)

Olivia and Clara stirred up a little Christmas fun Saturday with an echange d'ornement party. We fixed a big pasta dinner, played some fun Christmas games and the girls each took home a new ornament. These ornaments will definitely remind the girls of their Christmas in France. We are learning about all kinds of Christmas traditions throughout the world. When one father came to pick up his daughter he said, "It's so fun to have North Americans here to celebrate American style." There is a fun French tradition regarding "ornements". Père Noël hangs foil covered chocolate ornaments on the tree Christmas Eve. We hope he finds our tree this year.
