Sophie Christmas show

Sophie's school organized a Christmas Show to celebrate the holidays. Sophie and her classmates were dancing. Here is a video of it and hopefully I will be able to share it with you thanks to my sister's computer. Enjoy!

American Thanksgiving in France

Our family was fortunate to be together in Nantes on one of Nathan's favorite holidays. Claire, Max and Sophie hosted the whole Hellman/O'Malley clan for a dinner featuring turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes and pies. Here are a few family photos from our days there.
