Snow!

We finally recieved some substantial snow...just in time for Steve to be gone.  :(  Thankfully, we have some wonderful neighbors who shoveled the sidewalks for me. 

As soon as Steve arrived home from his TDY he was wonderful and took the kids out to play.  He is a fabulous Daddy!

Isabella's take on the Holidays

Isabella received a new camera for Christmas.  These are some of the 1000s of pictures she has taken over the past week.  :)

Happy New Year!

New Years is a spectacular time here in Germany.  There are a TON of fireworks, the church bells ring, and there's a lot of bubbly!  I will miss this SO MUCH when we move back to the States, especially the church bells.  Since this was our last New Years here, we decided Isabella could stay up to experience all the celebration.  I honestly didn't think that she would make it to midnight, but she was the most wide awake of all of us! 

Watching the Sound of Music and drinking hot chocolate.
She thought she was hot stuff staying up so late!  :)
