This afternoon Eric and I ran a few errands and then browsed several stores in Old Nice, which shockingly I have rarely done! We found presents (can't say what they are until after Christmas!) and got ideas for other ones.
We also stopped by a thrift store and found a coat for Inga as well as one we thought would suit Zari, a lovely black wool belted trench coat with some fun design elements. I came home and convinced Zari to come with me and just try it on. It was AMAZING! And we also found a spring-weight trench coat in khaki twill with black piping, also totally amazing on her. For a grand total of 15 Euros! She's been wanting to dress a bit more sophisticated than her usual soccer jerseys and jeans. This will go a long way, I think.
I've gotten some other Christmas shopping done and am quite excited so far.
Zari came with me first thing this morning for a quick grocery run to Lidl for lebkuchen supplies. We came home with a full shopping cart and an extra bag! Lots of yummy treats as Christmas is approaching. I mixed up a huge batch of lebkuchen dough and maybe we'll roll it out tomorrow after soccer.
We've given away 5 bags of clothes and other items since we arrived, and we are selling 4 pairs of skis on the online classifieds. I love cleaning things out! With a small apartment, we have to keep paring things down because "stuff" accumulates quickly despite our best efforts.
The girls get the last parts of their braces on tomorrow before soccer. Dio just came home from soccer practice, Eric is at his men's team practice, and Zari is at her "sénior" Cavigal practice, trying out (and trying to decide if she wants to do it this year).
