If God Were French....

.....this is what Heaven would look like.


The Henderson Family lovingly invited me to their beautiful home in the heart of Burgundy, in a small village named Creot. Their home is, as Ian describes it, a crumbling old winemakers home. It is a perfect place for family from all over the world (literally) to come together and enjoy each other's company and TONS of wine :) 

The trip was filled with eating, drinking, reading, relaxing, laughing, cuddling with Molly Rose, and catching up with family. 

Molly has moved to solids!

It was so fun to hang out with these 2 for a couple of days

 Lunch in the Garden





One afternoon we took an adventure into different neighborhoods of Burgundy to do a little wine tasting with some local vineyard owners. We stopped at a woman's home in Volnay and tasted nice red wines in her living room. She then took us town to her cave to show us where the wine was stored beneath the house.







This bottle is from 1954! or was it 1959? I cant remember, but either way....its a pretty neat thing to have in ones basement

 With our purchases. Mom and Dad, you might be benefiting from the fruits of our wine tasting :)


The second night I was there, the Hendersons threw a dinner party for a couple of families in the neighborhood. We drank all different wines from the area and ate a proper BBQ dinner! 

Wine tasting-Ian Henderson style...

Best shot of the weekend!



I cant wait to return to Creot. Thank you Hendersons for being incredible hosts and making me feel so welcome into your home! Hopefully we will see each other during the Christmas holidays! I love yall!
