On Saturday we headed to our first Christmas market of the season in Heidelberg. It was cold, but so beautiful. The smells of wasel, roasted nuts, and gluhwein were so warming.

I (HEART) Weihnachtszeit!
I love Christmastime, especially here in Germany! We set up our fresh Christmas tree (a first for me), and decorated the house. The only issues we've had so far is Jack's OBSESSION with the ornaments and Isabella asking every morning if it's Christmas day yet.

We're settled!
It's been a LONG time since I've posted. We finally have internet in the house, making it much easier to post (and do online Christmas shopping). I thought our first post from our new house should include pictures of our home. The kid's are loving all the space and their toys that have been in storage for so long. It was like Christmas day when all our items were delivered.
We were really blessed to find our house and be able to move in so quickly. Many people who were on our plane over are still waiting to get into their houses, as the housing market is quite tight right now. Our house is in a village only 5 mintues from the one we lived in the last time we were here. In fact, we drove by our new house everyday going to work the last time we were here. I couldn't have imagined that we'd be living here again, and in such a wonderful place. I told Steve quite often how much I liked the village and would love to live here. We have a grocery, bakery, florists all within walking distance. Our house is quite unusual as the front/first floor use to be a shoe shop, so our living area is on the second and third floor. The basement is known as the Man Cave as it has a bar with disco ball! Steve looks forward to getting a drum set to put down there, and I think that'll be the PERFECT place for it. :)
Our front door (picture taken a few days ago before the snow)
The front/side of the house
The view out the back (before snow)
The view out the back this morning. I love the fresh dusting of snow.
Our view out the side of our house.
After walking about two flights of steps you get to our front entry.
Our kitchen. Such an improvment from the last house we had here in Germany!
Our guest room/Christmas present storage room.
Looking into our entry from the hall.
Part of the living room with fireplace.
Living room.
Playroom off the living room. Two of my favorite parts of the house are the beautiful floors and the french doors.
Upstairs to Isabella's room.
The door leading to Jack's room from Bella's room.
Jack's room.
Master bedroom.
Probably one of the most sought after rooms in Germany...a walk in closet room. There are wardrobes the entire way around the room.
