Just two days after the children returned to school after the two-week holiday vacation, Aix-en-Provence was blessed with a fabulous snow storm. The children missed three days of school as this southern France village is not equipt to deal with the occasional snowstorms. The last storm which produced this much snow was in 1989 so there was much to celebrate!
The early morning hours brought aboaut 3 cm of snow....and it continued to snow for two days!
Riley was the biggest fan of the snow...he had a ball jumping around the white stuff.
What is a snowstorm without a snowman? Shane made the head...
Julie made the middle
Riley and Mal made the bottom layer (Riley was a big help!)
And Syd brought him to life, adorning him with baby bell cheese eyes, carrot nose, tootsie roll buttons and a cashmere scarf from Syd's wonderful sister, Blanche. He was QUITE the dapper snowman!
it snowed, and snowed, and snowed....and we had a ball!
Susie Bates took this lovely photo of the Hotel de Ville in Aix-en-Provence...we just love our village!
