Getting our Christmas Tree

According to family tradition we went to get our Christmas tree with Grandma and Grandpa. They found the right tree within minutes - we took over an hour! But we found the perfect tree.
Jamie was cozy in his sling with a big blanket around him. And Lilly helped with the tree search - it wasn't easy.




Afterwards we went to Grandma and Grandpa for dinner and family time.

First snow

Today it snowed for the first time and Jamie experienced the cold white stuff for the first time! He wasn't sure what to think about it, but didn't mind it much either.
Lilly was busy making snow angels and having a snow ball fight with Mama.

Heute hat es zum ersten Mal geschneit und das war auch Jamie's erster Schnee. Er war sich noch nicht so ganz sicher, aber war ganz okay damit.
Lilly hat Schneeengel gemacht und wir hatten eine Schneeballschlacht bei welcher Wally die Baelle gejagt hat.

Visiting Santa!

This was Jamie's first Santa visit and he wasn't too excited about jolly old St. Nick. Lilly took a few minutes to warm up, but then told him happily what she and Jamie wanted for Christmas and even let Santa have her reindeer. In exchange for some candy she even sat on his lap :)
We had cookies and juice and then headed to a friend's house to play. It was a very nice afternoon and now she keeps on asking to go back and see Santa.


Das war Jamie's erster Besuch beim Weihnachtsmann und er nicht besonders begeistert. Nach anfaenglicher Scheuheit hat sich Lilly dazu ueberwunden Santa von ihren Wuenschen zu erzaehlen und hat sich mit ein bisschen Bestechung sogar auf seinen Schoss gesetzt :)
Dann haben wir noch Kekse und Saft gehabt und sind dann zu Freunden zum Spielen gegangen. Wir hatten einen sehr schoenen Nachmittag und die Kinder waren fix und fertig dananch.

Love her smile!

The pictures are 4 months old, but I just ran across them and I love the smile!
