Christmas Day 2009

We had a great Christmas here in Germany just us as a family. Kooper got up at 5:40 am and we kept him from wakening up Madelyn for about an hour. So at 6:40 am we started opening present and the kids had a blast. As you can tell below in the picture of the Christmas tree Santa was great to the kids this year. They got a tone of stuff and love it all. This Christmas was different for us not spending it with no family, but it was still a very blessed Christmas. But we have to look forward to next Christmas when my parents will be here will us and spending the holiday with us. Any one else who wants to come is welcome to come. There are a few pictures of our great day below. Enjoy!

Madelyn's Birthday Party ( The BIG 6)

It is hard to believe that our little girl is now six. ( that makes you feel really old) We had a party for her on Saturday the 19th and had our friends and their 5 kids over. She had cake and gifts with her friends at the party, and then we all ate dinner. The kids played and played, they even played out in the snow that night. She had a great time with us and our friends. Happy Birthday my little girl.

Christmas Eve

We started Christmas Eve off by going to church and then we had friends over for dinner.I had been cooking for a couple of days. We had Ham, Hot dogs wrapped in bacon, shrimp, hot wing dip, layered dip, sweet potatoes, pecan pie and pumpkin roll. It was a good meal and we had a tone left over. Our friends came over about six and stayed until about nine. And then we put food out for Santa and his reindeer. Then the kids got a bath and off to be they went so Santa would come and visit them. Once we knew they were a sleep, then Santa did his stuff. I could not wait for them to get up and see all the stuff they were getting. Then off to bed Mommy and Daddy went.

First Snow!!

We woke up Sunday morning to snow on the ground and it was still falling. We went to church and then we came home and got changed. Then we headed outside to have fun in the snow. We had a snow ball fight and then Seth and the kids made snow angles. The kids had a tone of fun playing in the snow. Madelyn said; Mommy do you know why it snowed? I said no, why? She said that means that Christmas is coming soon. We hope to get some more snow this winter.

Kids Christmas Party

We had such a good time, the kids really enjoyed all of the fun. It was nice to see the both of the kids enjoy them selfs and all of us get to meet new people.

Our Stuff

It has been a while since I have posted anything. We got all of our household goods on Monday, it took them two loads to get everything here. They got here about 9:15 and were here until 3:30 or so. I have everything unpacked and put way buy Tuesday night. We just got the last curtains hung today and the last few pics up on the wall tonight. It is so nice to have all of our own things and our own beds to sleep in at night. The kids are doing so much better having there own things. I will post some pics of our house with our stuff in it later this week. I did buy a new coffee table and end table for our house and I just think that they look great with our stuff. Well that is all for now I will post more later. We are going to a German Christmas Market this weekend so I will post some pics of that next week.
