Freezing in France

We were in the alps, so you think I would have been a little more prepared for the cold. But I was not. And everyone kept saying, "I guess it's cold, and it's only november", as in it's not that cold, wait til you're here later in the season. I died a little inside. But now I know how other people feel when i tell them, "yeah it's 110F, but it's a dry heat". But I digress...

I went to Tignes, France for a week with my work family. They like to ski and apparently this is one of the best places in France for skiing (didn't find that out til I was home and got angry emails from bitter friends who ski). I spent my time there dressing the girls up for skiing (I am now an expert at dressing children in ski outfits), sledding, and napping. I had to nap a lot, because I was sharing a bedroom with the girls and Derin was having nightmares...about me crushing her in her sleep. She and I were sharing a bunk bed. Can you guess who had the top bunk and who had the bottom bunk? She woke up a couple times a night crying and screaming. I think she gave me weight complex.

All in all it was a pretty great trip. The town is a nice little place, and the scenerary is just astonishingly beautiful!!! But, I'm not gonna lie...it was good to be home and away from all that snow.
