Feels Good to Be with Family


In Germany, Christmas is 3 days long. There is Christmas Eve, the 1st day of Christmas and the 2nd day of Christmas. They are all holidays. And Germans take their holidays seriously. You will not find an open grocery store (or any open store for that matter) on any of these days. This year, that meant that you'd better have bought a lot of groceries on Wednesday or you'd be starving by the time stores open again the next Monday. Maybe that's why Germans are so well organized...

We had the pleasure of spending Saturday at my aunt's family's house with my (only) 3 cousins. Here is part of the Henne clan. The other (small) part is in Australia vacationing for 6 months.



There was lots of singing...



more presents...


Max is in love with his new fuzzy jacket

playing around...


and even some circus action! The kids loved the juggling with balls and clubs on fire. But the highlight was the fire breathing. Good thing Noah, the fireman, is always ready... We are sure glad Laura has such an awesome boyfriend. Thanks, Thomas!



Sorry, no picture of the fire breathing. But it did happen. Ask Noah. He can tell you all about it.

Wow are those three cousins the ones we visited when I was there! They were all so young. Has it really been that long?
