Christmas Morning! I had a great time stealing everyone's packages and wrapping them to put under our tree! And Julie even took one of our packages and wrapped everything in it for us! Packages and gifts for 6 people add up to a lot under such a small tree! Unfortunately, it was too warm for a fire in the woodstove this Christmas... but we still had a lovely fun and relaxing day!
Jacob, awaiting the delicious German/American Christmas breakfast...
European bread, salami, cheese, cucumbers, boiled eggs and nutella... very German. Cinnamon rolls and lemon pastries, very American. But I think fruit salad, yogurt, coffee and juice are normal breakfast foods in both countries. Especially Jacob's homemade juice from passion fruit, pineapple and bananas. So good!
Jacob and I, Marco, Jonny, Diemo and Julie enjoying a lovely Christmas breakfast at 10:00 am.
After breakfast we listened to Jacob read the Christmas story in English and Marco read the Christmas story in German. Our God has done more for us then we can comprehend! It is a privilege to walk with Him each day!
Diemo, our photographer! Nice job Diemo!
After we read the Christmas story, we opened our stockings.
Marco and Jonny opening their stockings.
Diemo looking at the picture he just took and Julie opening her stocking!
Diemo, Marco and Jonny wondering if they remember how to tie a tie.
They did... or perhaps they got help from Jacob. :)
Diemo opening a package from home!
Jacob gave me a Patriots shirt... fun finds at the Mission barrel, a place where everyone puts things they don't want and other people can take them. :)
Marco got a package from home with lots of home baked German cookies!
Julie's parents even sent a Christmas gift for her dog, Wyatt. :)
Jacob also gave me a beautiful PNG pottery serving bowl!
Diemo was very excited to get a PNG version of a rubix cube! We were excited to see that he was interested in figuring out Jacob's rubix cube just days before Christmas, little did he know that we got each guy their own, PNG magic cube. :)
And it is snowing inside!
Hanging out on Christmas!
Jonny reading a letter from home.
Wow, what a mess! A very fun Christmas mess! I also had some fake snow which I threw on everyone, added to the fun and to the mess. :)
