Oh Christmas Tree!

This morning Herr and Frau Mueller took us to their friends Christmas tree farm so that we could pick out and cut down our Christmas tree. It was a beautiful morning and the drive to the country was gorgeous! The kids had so much fun running around and picking out the perfect tree.

Christmas Market

Since we decided not to go to Paris over Thanksgiving weekend we had to do something fun! It seems to have become a tradition for us to go to the Heidelberg Christmas Market the day after Thanksgiving. The atmosphere is so festive and all the lights and decorations beautiful.

9 Months Old!

Charlotte you are 9 months old! What are you up to?



-You weigh 18 1/2 pounds (49%).

-You continue to be LOUD and love to get anyone’s attention that is within eyesight.

-You eat very well, and have pretty much weaned yourself from your bottle, except for before your nap and bedtime. You love drinking out of your sippy cup. You also enjoy your star snacks.

-You are obsessed with electrical cords. We have put barriers all around the living room keeping you from them. We can only imagine how crazy you'll be around the Christmas tree!

-You commando crawl very fast. If either Jack or Isabella leaves the gate open in the living room you look right at Daddy or Mommy, smile, and commando crawl as fast as you can to escape. You are a very determined little girl!

-You love skyping/facetiming with family.

-You enjoy listening to music (especially Christmas music)!

Kid's Pictures

Laura from Sweet Pea Photography took some FABULOUS pictures of the kids. It is so hard to get a goot shot of all three kids looking at the camera and not crying, but she did it! Even Jack was willing to look at the camera nicely once or twice. :)

Here are some of the highlights.
