We had a wonderful Christmas this year. Last night we were at my parents house to celebrate Christmas Eve as usual. We ate, made our hot spiced wine (Feuerzangenbowle) and ate cookies. I made homemade Lebkuchen this year for the first time and I was very happy with the results. Every year I can't wait for Christmas because I just LOVE those cookies, now I can make them! After we all had our wine we let Nadia open her gifts from Julia and Rick, Frank and Maureen, and David and Matthew. Afterwards everyone started heading home and so did we. We both exchanged gifts last night. We were only supposed to do 1 each, but we did 2, and one of Nadia's gifts. This morning we woke up and opened the last of our gifts. I got everything I wanted! I was especially excited about my new robe and coffee maker. I had to make coffee right away. Its a new type where it has no carafe, it has a little button you push to dispense the coffee. It is supposed to keep it fresh. I had one of those senseo machines where you only brew a cup at a time, so I am very excited!
Jacobs favorite gift he got was a new electric razor. I was surprised at how expensive they can be, but I wanted him to have a good one. I bought him the Braun 360 complete 8995.
Nadia got lots of toys. She also got a cute pair of slippers and a stuffed animal from Jacobs cousin Jeremy and his wife Jessi. Her Oma and Opa gave her a savings bond and money. She got a pair of Nike shoes from her Daddy. They are the cutest little things you have ever seen! I got her a mobile for her crib, for when she starts to sleep in it. She has only laid in her crib once!
Here are some pictures from last night and this morning.
