Christmas in Germany - 2007

Christmas dinner at the Loewen's in Kandern.
Even the Christmas tree is beginning to look tired!
"Did anyone forget about me?"


At the end of each busy day, the dorm recreation room did become quiet and peaceful - missing the noise of busy children and adults.
Turkey dinner - what a fantastic meal!





The Falk children in one of the few quiet moments!
What better way to wrap a Christmas money gift than in a stocking.

Crepes for brunch on Christmas morning - a long standing tradition.




Christmas Eve raclette and then topped off with a chocolate fondue after the Candlelight Service at the church.


It does take a long time to make crepes from 40 eggs.






Christmas Eve dinner was the traditional raclette meal. Lots of work for the ladies in preparation but worth every bit of it - especially for the guys. Couldn't be too much wine!!! No, Jacob is only 17 so he's not even allowed.
The Loewen's rec room at the dorm was the ideal place for everyone to have something to do.







On Dec. 23rd evening, we were all invited to Len and Mary Reed (Tiera's future in-laws) for an evening of food and getting to know one another.


Hope no one is getting dizzy by jumping back and forth with these pictures. Back to the raclette dinner.







On Dec. 23rd, we all went to Basel for the afternoon. Was very cold but we had a good time.


Back to the Reed's evening.







Games over the holidays.



Is this "pre-ageing in the process?
