Christmas 2009

We had a wonderful Christmas! Here are some of our 2009 Christmas memories...

We open presents from grandparents and extended family on Christmas Eve.


Bubby & Moshie sent Julia this great picture of she and Bubby in Prague this past summer! She loves it and put it right on her nightstand :) 

Lexie was really into Dora this year! 




Decked out in new pajamas, another family tradition :) 

Letters and cookies for Santa.

Christmas morning...

What did Santa bring?

A horse for Lexie! (She calls it a "yee haw!")

A guitar and karaoke mic! 

She's pretty excited about this one! 

Cars!

Feeding her new baby

We decided to go to Prague the day after Christmas, just like we did last year.  We really enjoyed the Christmas market, and we always enjoy visiting Prague.  It's so beautiful. 







We found a stand selling, fresh, hot made-to-order stroopwafels.  They're a thin, wafer-type cookie, with a syrup like layer holding the two wafers together.  They're amazing in a package from the store, so fresh hot ones are simply out of this world! YUM!!!




There was a small petting zoo at the Christmas market...Lexie sang "Baa Baa Black Sheep" the entire time we were there :)


Look at how excited Julia was to pet this horse! She was in heaven! 

Daddy and the girls...Aiden is not a fan of taking pictures lately :( 


This was dinner!


Loved all the ornaments 

I love this city!


Heading back to the hotel....they're pros at riding the Metro :)


One more... this picture is from the Christmas tree lighting ceremony on base at the beginning of December.  Julia is getting a gift from St. Nikolaus.  It was in the local German newspaper.  When Julia found out, she started jumping around and screaming "I'M FAMOUS! I'M FAMOUS! My picture was in the newspaper!" :)
Photo: Juli getting her gift from St. Nickolaus, this picture and the following was in the Grafenwoehr City paper.
