Merry Christmas 2011!

We wish you a  Merry Christmas!

We wish you a Merry Christmas!

And a Happy New Year!

Christmas Market

We attended a Christmas sing along, spent some time at 

the Christmas Market, baked cookies, and visited with friends 

this weekend. Rana is taking in and enjoying more of the festivities 

this year and it is fun to experience it all through her eyes.  

Rain, Rain Go Away!

It started pouring shortly before we left 

for Kindergarten this morning.

While I was dreading making my way through town, 

Rana was very excited to use her Winnie the Pooh umbrella. 

She put up her umbrella and started singing, 

"Rain, rain go away! Come again another day!" 

So cute!

Rana is 3 and a Half!

We've all been battling colds and fevers lately.

Cuddling up to watch a movie

makes staying home with a fever much

more enjoyable, doesn't it, Rana?

Saint Nicholas!

Are you familiar with the story behind St. Nick?

He was a 4th century saint who had a reputation 

for secret gift-giving, such as putting coins in the 

shoes of those who left them out for him. 

He became the model for Santa Claus, 

but he is still celebrated on December 6 
in Germany and elsewhere. 

Rana was thrilled to find chocolate in her shoes 
this morning and enjoyed the festivities 
at the Kindergarten, too.
