Paper Lanterns in France

These photographs were taken over Christmas when we were still in France.

Emma brought these paper lanterns to France so that we could all light one and make a wish and let them all float off into the night sky.
They were really cool.

This is Emma and Chris (Marc & Emma's uncle Chris) lighting the first ones.

I think that's a close up of Chris but it's hard to tell, it is definitely the back of Daisy, looking about 15 years old, not 5!

Here are three lanterns floating off into the distance, very pretty.

Here are the two of us holding our lanterns, once you light them you have to wait for the heat to build up and then when you feel it pulling upwards you can let go.
Yes i did make a wish but no i'm not going to tell you or it won't come true.
