Christmas Eve 2012

26 Dec 2012

This year’s Christmas Eve was Perfect! We had such a nice night. Inge and Gesa brought over fresh crab for dinner, and a huge Boudin sourdough crab to match!
We had German sausages and pretzels, and just the right kind of mustard.
There were beautiful gifts exchanged, and everyone was happy and healthy.

Ausstecherle Cookies With Omi

23 Dec 2012

Omi and the kids baked cookies last week. There are a tradition in Mark’s family, so it’s fun to see the cookies year to year.
I think the fun of these simple cookies is in the process.

And as if this weren’t enough, the kids brought me cookies for my morning coffee!
(They have a notch that allows them to hook onto the mug.)

Fun!! Thanks Omi!
