Christmas in the Alps

This year for Christmas we ended up going to Simon's work cabin in Schliersee. We decided that since Auburn doesn't quite understand waking up on Christmas morning to open presents yet and we are so far away from family that there was no reason to stay in Munich. We left on Wednesday evening and stayed until Saturday. It was probably the most relaxing Christmas we will ever have. We slept in (even Auburn), played and relaxed. The cabin that his company has is awesome! They have a couple play rooms for the little ones with lots of new toys that Auburn loved playing with. They also have ping pong tables, a billard room, fussball tables, internet and a library. We also can take some amazing walks as we are in the Alps and close to the lake.

our apartment was to the left of my head with all the windows on the top

I didn't want to carry all of our Christmas presents up to Schliersee, so we opened Christmas presents on the 26th when we returned home. Auburn loved all of our gifts and is still enjoying playing with the new toys.






She isn't walking yet, but she got this stroller from my parents from Christmas and has been taking it everywhere in our apartment. It took her a day to get use to it, but now she takes her "baby" and "bear" everywhere.

We hope that all of you had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Auburn is SO beautiful!! What a great way to celebrate Christmas, too. Relaxing on a holiday is THE best. We chose to do this as well, although we only had the one day as Eric is in retail.

I LOVE that green dress on Auburn! And it is so cute to see pushing a stroller. I'm glad you had a nice Christmas. Thanks for keeping us in the loop!

What an enchanting Christmas! I'm so glad you guys are having so many amazing experiences there. Kayley got a stroller for Christmas too and loves pushing as many stuffed animals and books around that she can possibly fit in there. She almost always has her bear and baby in there too. I can't wait to meet Auburn! She seems like such a happy, pleasant little girl. She's such a cutie! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! PS Did you find out what you are having?????????

We found out last past week that we are expecting .... a baby boy! We are super excited! I had a feeling ever since we found out that I was pregnant that would be having a boy. Auburn came to the ultrasound with us and repeatedly said "baby" while we looked at the screen. We are excited for her to have a little brother. We just need to start thinking of baby boy names ....

Ich bin schwanger

Translation: I am pregnant! We are so excited to be parents again. I have been blessed to feel pretty good through the first trimester. The offical due date for our little one is May 12th. It is the day before our 4th anniversary. We don't really think that Auburn understands what is going on. When we say baby, she gets her baby doll. Although she does point to the ultrasound pictures and says baby, which I think is super sweet!
