Last night we had a quiet little New Years celebration at home with Mack and my mom. Dinner was a meat fondue with meatballs, filets of chicken and beef, and four dipping sauces. We had salad of lamb's lettuce with champagne dressing and a baguette along with it. Very...
Looks a bit American…
So my MIL & FIL were standing outside our house the other day and an older lady was walking by. She stopped to chat and mentioned that the decorations on the house looked really nice, "although they are a bit American. Not that that is a bad thing." We got a good...
Cooking and trimming
The house is full today as both my mom and Stefan's parents are spending Christmas at our house. A feast is being prepared to mirror what we would have had on Thanksgiving since we missed it this year: turkey, stuffing, current relish, fresh rolls, salad, sweet...
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…
My mom and I went to find some pre-Christmas decorating bargains at the local home improvement store yesterday which already has all their holiday stuff marked down 50%. We don't have too many Christmas-sy things around our house since those sorts of things are...
Google – my psychic
I was finally doing a bit of catching up on reading other people's blogs and came across what I found amusing at 11:30pm while we watched Private Practice in bed. Connie at Young and Restless mentioned this game of sorts and I figured I would give it a go. Feel free...
Trimming the tree
We went out Sunday to Hirzbacher Höfe in a little town called Hammersbach. It is one of the few places around here that seems to cut their own trees from their own lot. You can even go into the forest and cut a tree fresh if you don't like anything in their pre-cut...
Getting festive
We went to get our Christmas tree yesterday...and Stefan has been putting up lights and building yard decorations over the last couple of weekends. We were hoping that some more of our neighbors would find their holiday spirit...but so far they seem to be trying to...
Finishing up stuff in the kitchen
While Stefan's parents were here, his dad and he worked on several projects around the house that were not too labor intensive but still really needed to be done. One of those tasks was laying network cable through most of the main house. Yes, we have wireless here...
Finally warming up the place
Last week, Stefan took advantage of his parents being around and scheduled a heater repairman to come out. We've had issues with a couple of our heaters since we moved in...partially because our contractor was an idiot - and also because we never managed to get...
The first Christmas market
Sunday we took our first outings with our Baby Trends Expedition LX jogging stroller. In the morning, we bundled Mackenzie up in her Eskimo outfit and went out to walk the dog. It was a bit of a bumpy ride, especially on the unpaved paths, and Stefan is already...
