The boys left us on Saturday morning at 9:30 headed first to Nuremberg and then on to Vienna. They were excited to get started on the Austria part of their trip. The train came and Dale said “Are you sure this train goes to Nuremberg?” Well, yes, they have one train every hour and the only place it goes is to Nuremberg. Later we found out that the train was full, and they had to sit separately which was a problem because Dale has the tickets, but the conductor never came by. The train they took to Vienna left shortly after they arrived in Nuremberg but they made the connection just fine. Read the rest of this entry »

Lacy does her own hair now.
Landon said, “I know this present is from Dale because he’s the only one that calls me ‘Land-O-Lakes Butter.” Cute. Read the rest of this entry »

On Monday we took a trip to Nurnberg and visited the Christmas Market. Nurnberg is a beautiful city and we really enjoy walking around. We visit the city about every 2 weeks, but this is only the second time we have walked around and saw anything.
We parked our car by the church and walked across the street and this is where we walked by the wall.

As I write this it is almost noon here, but your kids are all in bed - hopefully. We had a lovely breakfast of a German Apple Pancake, scrambled eggs with carmalized oinions, and bacon, along with a Winter Tea. Yum. We opened presents and are now relaxing. I’m going to try the GermKnoedel in a little while, then we will make some Christmas visits and go to a Christmas Dinner.
Here are a couple of photos of Rothenburg. You can click on them and go to my photobucket to see the others. I’m still way behind. 
Love you guys. Have a very happy Christmas. We miss you, but will see you in less than 200 days.

Just wanted to let you all know Dale and Mark arrived safely, but six hours late since they went through Barcelona enroute, but we met them and were off to Garmisch. It was getting dark when we arrived, but here is a picture of downtown at night.
The next morning, after a nice breakfast, we went to the Hausberg and had a treat:
You may have guessed, it is a Germknoedel. Mom’s first bite:
Since then we have visited our old home, walked the Loisach and visited Neuschwanstein, and a bunch of other places. We are very tired, so we’ll post more tomorrow.

Had a few interesting events happen recently. Just over a week ago, Michael and Ivy (some of you have met Michael) got married. Here’s a few photos:
And on Saturday, we got some very Swedish carolers for Saint Lucia’s day:

We had a lovely day yesterday, except that we had to get up after only 5 hours of sleep and go to Nurnberg for a looong Zone conference. It was actually good, but we had a birthday party to attend at 5:oo and we didn’t get out of the parking lot until 4:40, and we had a new elder at the wheel! Our hearts are barely back to normal. He is from Britain and is a new driver - first time on the Autobahn - at night in the winter. Heart Failure formula. We tried to call the brithday family but the phone didn’t work, so we were over an hour late.
Here is the Birthday Girl - Mikayla.
Here is our Birthday Cakes. Mikayla made mine.
Is it winter here? You be the judge.
How do we stay warm? Janet is very happy her feet are warm.
Plus, a Christmas gift I purchased for myself this morning. It depicts the Old Church, the Rathaus, and the tower at Graf military base.
