It's that time of year again!

Happy Holidays Y'all!
We've been busy with well, everything. Just the last few days were full of activities and here are the pictures to prove it. First I'll start you off with Thursday....Gabe's Holiday music program at school. He had a special part that required him to wear lots of winter gear. I only have video of that so you will all just have to wait until I get it up on YouTube and I'll share it here...Just give me a few days. This first picture is of him on the end...just click the pic and it will make it bigger...

This is Gabe and his best friend Shane. They have been close since Kindergarten and they thought they had a few more years in the same place but Shane's dad recently received orders and the family will be moving next month. Gabe is devastated.


The next two are the boys with Santa (obviously) from the Battalion Christmas party that took place on Friday. It was decent. We won a door prize...2 small Waechtersbach Christmas bowls.
I know Alex looks goofy in the pic....it was the best one he took. He really didn't want to visit Santa. We bribed him by telling him we would leave if he would at least stand beside him.



And now we get to today. We made it (finally) to the Rothenburg Christmas Market. We spent lots and had a good time. Big Al was mad at us for not riding the horse drawn carriage but it required a hike, it was starting to rain, we were all (except Chris) starving, and I needed a bathroom which is not always so easy to find. For the few interested, I ended up having to hold it until we got to the McDonald's in Ansbach. Not an easy feat.






The boys have their last day of school on Wednesday...thank goodness. We'll still have to field daily (okay, hourly if not every 10 minutes) inquiries from Alex about if he has to go to school but at least we can say no.

Saturday we are having our Christmas party. It's an open house and should be fun. I know I'm going to drive myself crazy over the details but I'm really looking forward to it.

I hope everyone is wonderful. I'll be updating this again in a few days so keep checking back.

Love to all and Happy Holidays!!!
