What can one find while cleaning out an eight year old's backpack? Let me tell you. 1 brocken ruler. 2 smashed Oranges. Paper cut into strips. 4 Pencil sharpeners. Granola Bars. Pencil shavings. Clay. A small Cactus. Not even kidding. Half pencils. Erasers. And the list goes on. BUT, for now it's clean....

In our village we had a Christmas Market and the kindergarten sang a few songs. As you can see from the picture it was cold and we are all bundled up. Silus is in the bright red jacket clapping and Naomi is behind him. Almost every city has a Christmas market, where crafters set up and sell all kinds of stuff. You can also have a glass of the famous Gluwein or all kinds of other treats. Gluwein is a warm spiced wine. (Glow Wine) And you will be glowing after a mug! Did I mention how much I like it?

We had a little neighborhood party. I couldn't find the camera. Not a single picture. (The camera was under a towl by the steps) OOOppps. We had a great time.

Here is a picture of the great White Elephant gifts we got! Look close to the one in the box, and you will see "AS SEEN ON TV" I feel so special.

The Deutschkurs. My school. It's in down town Kaiserslautern, about 15 minutes from or house. It has been very interesting meeting people from all over the world. In this picture we have 13 Countrys represented. Over the weeks we have had several Potlucks which have been fun. Most poeple bring a dish from there home and we eat and talk. We have a few people missing from the picture, but it's always hard to get everyone in.... There are six modules and we are finishing with the third next week. Almost half way there! Iam so thankful to be in Germany and have this oppertunity!

Isn't it beautiful beyond words? The kids love to play in it. It's heavy and makes great snow men. Last year I bought two great pair of Snow Boots and my feet are soooo toasty. And I can't remember the last time we had a White Christmas. Not that it will stay that much longer, but who knows!
