Christmas at Oma and Opa's

We had a great time celebrating Christmas at Oma and Opa's this year.  The kids were mesmerized by the German decorations like this one where the heat from the candles makes the propeller spin.

Rainie and Stephanie.

Oma sets a beautiful table.

 We ate brunch at 11... never too early for wine ;-)

 Josie and Stephanie.   I think they look so much alike!!

 Oma and Opa opening gifts even though Opa always shouts "I do not participate!" (in the gift giving or receiving)

 Stephanie, Liz  and Schnitzel.

 Benjamin is very excited about his new dump truck from Stephanie

 Liz made Josie a BEAUTIFUL dress.  Every time she wears it she gets tons of compliments. 

The next day Sana showed up at our house and we had a very nice and relaxing day at home, just the four of us.

 

 

Apparently Eric, Marty and I don't make the photo cut.  No photos of us, even though we were there too!  Merry Christmas 2013!!
