Christmas 2006

We had a very nice, quiet, Christmas. We had time together alone as a family this year. One of the nice things here is that everything is closed for holidays and Sundays still, so it makes it much easier to do nothing. I must admit though it is sometimes frustrating, because sometimes the holidays are the only days that we have free to do something...but in the end is better. It forces us to either be at home or go for a walk or visit with friends. And here it's 2 days, the 25th and 26th are both official holidays, nothing is open. Even McDonalds closes part of the day!


David also has a bit more free time at the moment since the mid-week study and school of discipleship are taking a break for the holidays.


So as soon as the stores were open again we started a project at home! Wouldn't you know...when you've got the time! And of course it wound up being bigger than planned! we re-arranged kids bedrooms and wound painting too. It was good in the end, just took longer and was more work, but worth it. Now there is a BOYs room and a 'princess' room...















Things are finally back in order after 3 days of chaos!

Happy New Years! Or as they say here, have a 'good slide' (Guten Rutsch) into the New Year.
