Christmas...

This was our first Christmas away from home...and it was a good one. We both skyped our families and ate an awesome breakfast, read Cosmic Christmas and watched The Nativity Story and It's a Wonderful Life. 

Here is what my sweet husband gave me for Christmas...it was the best surprise ever!

         

He built it out of sticks and stuff from the forest. So COOL! 

Here is our lil flea market Christmas tree...


   My gift to Paul was a new bike (since he's been riding ghetto ones this whole time) and I painted this dry erase board and of course gave him chocolate!


Here is our Christmas breakfast... last week Nada and I found frozen blueberries at the store and since they are not so common here I bought some. So we had blueberry pancakes, Cajun eggs and some Slovakian treats from the other night. Not as good as my mom's Christmas breakfast...but it wasn't bad either! :)


Later on we went for a little walk and built a snowman on our balcony! He looks pretty funny because he is totally not proportioned...lol






All in all we had an awesome Christmas! We did miss our families but praise the Lord for skype...we got to see them open their presents and everything...almost felt like we were there!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

  1. I loved these pictures. What would we do without skype? We'd get by, but it sure is a blessing being able to share life a little bit eventhough there's a ocean in between. We love you all...and will be praying that 2011 will see many great breakthroughs for the church in Germany. May God's fame be known and may His Kingdom be enlarged by the work He has given for you to do. Be faithful....and know that you are loved!
