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

Seth work had a Christmas party for the kids on Saturday morning. They had crafts, breakfast and Santa. Santa read the kids two stories and then they all got a gift from Santa. 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.

Madelyn's School Program

Madelyn's class did a great job at their program last night. They sang quite a few songs, they sang them in English, German and Spanish. It is hard to believe that this age of kids can already remember 3 languages. After they sang, we all eat dinner together. They had a great turn out at this, the room was packed full of family. The kids had a great time, Madelyn was so happy and did such an awesome job. Well that is all for now, I posted a few pics of last night on here. Enjoy!

What a little doll we have, she is getting so big. (It makes me sad to think she will be 6 in a month).

She was all smiles.

She is sining her little heart out.

Madelyn walking in with her class to start the program. She is all smiles all night, (which was great to see).

Our house

Wow it has been a while, that I have posted something on here. Well lets see what has been going on around here. We have been in our house now for a week, it was a week on Monday. We have not got our household stuff yet, it should not be here until the 1st of December. I hope that it is on time, because I am ready to put everything away and get out all of my christmas stuff. For all of you that know me really well, knows that I would have been getting it out this week or next, so this year a will be a bite behind. Madelyn has started school over here, they have 10 class for her age, which is a big change from the states. She is liking a little more every day. She is still having a hard time with being home sick. Last night we ask her were she wants to move when we are done here, we gave her a map of the United States and she picked Kansas. We have spend sometime with our friends over here and their family, we are going there for Thanksgiving. I passed my drivers test, and so now I can drive. We just bought a 4 Runner for me last night, I should have it by the middle of next week. Kooper and I have just been hanging out at home, he is getting to be quite the little Mommy's boy. Not much else new right now, I will write more after Thanksgiving. I hope that you all have a great Thanksgiving. We love and miss all of our families.

Here a few pics of some stuff we have been doing.
