Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!




The month of December was busy for us traveling. My parents came to Germany to visit and we went to Rothenberg, Nurnberg, Heidelberg and Mannhiem,Germany Christmas markets. Which was so much fun to see all the holiday decorations and vendors. My dad was gracious enough to push the stroller while my mom and I went up and down every isle, just to make sure we didn't miss anything. We then stayed a couple of days in Heidelberg toured the castle and caught up on laundry and then headed the Garmisch, Germany. The weather was cold and snowy but beautiful scenery. We toured "Cinderella Castle", took a Bavarian Cheese tour, and mom and Dad toured Dachau. The wintery get away was perfect for just before Christmas. We then met up with Paul in Heidelberg. My parents left for the States and Paul, Madeline and myself headed for Vicenza, Italy to spend Christmas there. It was breath taking with the snow falling on Christmas Eve and the mountains covered as we woke up Christmas morning. We then drove to Venice to take in the sights. And then back to Heidelberg. We then celebrate New Years by having our friends over for dinner and I was able to use my new fondue set!

Madeline these days is crawling faster, waving bye bye, grinning from ear to ear most of the time, and just learned to make a spitting noise from her dad.





For New

Maddie is beautiful and looks great in red I might add. The first picture of the town, is breath taking, could be a postcard. I'm Glad you got to spend some good times with your folks there. I know you're gearing up for Maddie's birthday right around the corner. AHHH! XOXO!
