Happy Birthday, Opa!

Da wir rechtzeitig unsere Glueckwuensche schicken moechten versuchen wir es auf diese Art und Weise. Persoenlich koennen wir es nicht, telefonisch schaffen wir es nicht da wir mit Zeitverschiebung nicht rechtzeitig von Schule und Arbeit zuhause sind, ABER es geht ja auch vorab per VIDEO .... und das haben wir heute fuer dich schon mal gemacht extra zum Geburtstag.

Also alles alles Gute zum Geburtstag und Happy Birthday aus Texas von uns allen.

December is here ... #day 1 #Red

Welcome to December, cold weather, hot cocoa, gingerbread, warm food ... and lots of sillyness in our house. Of course we are not ready to decorate for xmas yet, how couldi even imagine putting up xmas decorations on Thanksgiving weekends. I am definitely not so American that I can even consider that ...well that's the German in me. However it is not a reason not to make silly xmas crafts already ... and I can eat German Lebkuchen all year around if it would be available.

So for now smile at Rudolph, the only xmas decoration visible in our house yet, and we are getting ready to make beer bread and the first batch of xmas cookies.

buttons + canvas + glue gun = heart

I played with a tin can filled with buttons, an empty canvas and a hot glue gun this evening on the floor because I forgot my extension cord for the extremely short end of the glue gun. eventually soren could just not resist joining me down there and had his hands in the buttons, too. there are like magnets.
