What Happened over Christmas? Part 8

*Note: Because we left France to see my family we asked my husbands aunt to watch Caline and Frère for us. Here is what happened while they were with her.

New Years!



The Frenchman’s aunt, “Caline, Frère, réveillez-vous !
C'est Nouvel An !”
(Translation: Caline, Frère, wake up!
It’s New Years!)

Caline, “New what?”
Frère, “Humm?”
The Frenchman’s aunt, “C'est la célébration
de la nouvelle année!”
(Translation: It’s the celabration
of the new Year!)

Frère, “If that means food, I’m up!”
The Frenchman’s aunt, “Non. C'est juste Nouvel An.”
(Translation: No, it’s just New Year.)

Frère, “Oh, well, what’s the fun in that?”
Caline, “Thanks for waking us up for nothing...”

Christmas Eve




 Caline, “There’s a strange lump in this rug
and it has a tail.”

Caline, “I can see your paw!”

Caline, “Now get out!!!”
Frère, “No! I like it under here!”



*Note: Caline and Frère use to play this game in our old apartment but when we moved we moved the rug to the bath room and they lost interest in it. To see posts about the rug game click here.
