Christmas Morning 2010

This was our Christmas morning - although it was Dec. 26. We arrived home late on the 25th from Austria so Santa sent his elves that night to bring the gifts for the kids.

The New Years Eve Video



Hope you enjoy the video! This is looking out our bedroom window. It was a great show and the fireworks were by neighbors just setting them off. Happy New Year!

New Years Eve Video

Ok, so the video didn't load. I'll have to try a different way. But anyway...

So New Years Eve was once again a wonderful sight! Homemade schnitzel dinner, family movie and popcorn and then the midnight fireworks display out our bedroom window! I love that the German's celebrate with fireworks. And these fireworks are from our neighbors. This display is not from a special group. Once a year they sell big fireworks to the general public. So as we slide into the New Year I can only imagine what is in store for us this year. Will we come home or extend one more year...that is the big question at the moment. The answer won't come until spring.

Let's recap last year...
1. Spent Christmas and New Years skiing in Austria.
2. Celebrated carnival
3. Evicted out of our apartment and moved into temporary housing
4. Spent Easter with Jan at Center Parcs in the Netherlands
5. Moved back into the apartment after 3 months of construction.
6. Went to Heidelberg with friends
7. Visited home for 4 weeks in the summer
8. Landon started a new school.
9. Went to Rhodos Greece for fall break.
10. Drove to Eisenach for a long weekend.
11. Celebrated Thanksgiving with a crock-pot turkey.
12. Christmas market began
13. Celebrated Christmas with Grandma in Austria skiing.

I hope everyone is off to a good start.
