French Christmas Party

Here are some pictures from Thierry's French party. It included all his French collegues from work. Xavier had a great time playing with Maya. They did the Italian theme this year so all the food and gifts were based on that theme.

Xavier loves computers already.













































Here the kids are getting a lecture on how Maya should not jump into bed with a boy just because he asks her to. Xavier is thinking... "Why not?"

Yummy food.

Xavier looks really guilty here.

Jen's Friends Christmas Party

Here are some pictures from Jen's friends Christmas party. We exchanged names for gifts this year.
Keeley is very happy to have received Buffy season 3.

These are some great gloves Emma received that allow you to hold hands on one side and then have your own glove on the other. Very cute.

Here are the nice mugs Susi bought me from Spain. Nice and big.

Susi holding up her new skirt. Hopefully it fits OK.

Peggy loves her new cashmere gloves directly from Scotland.

Group shot. Doesn't Carlo (the dog) look cute.

Susi will soon be moving to South Africa for 2 years in order to help with the World Cup. Very exciting. We wish you lots of luck and hope you have a wonderful experience.

Our glasses are almost the same.

Winter pictures

Here are a few pictures of the Christmas Market in Munich. We met up with Priscilla, Christian, Michelle, Peggy, and Phil. We had a great time other than the fact it was raining. It was nice to see Priscilla, Christian, and Michelle again before they left for Singapore.

Xavier loved the children's section with moving characters.

Here are a couple pictures from the Christmas Market in Erding, which is not very far from where we live. Dorfen has a Christmas Market too but I didn't get any pictures of us there.

Here are a few pictures of our first snowman. Jennifer and Xavier made it and Thierry put on the hat. It lasted about 2 weeks before fully melting. Xavier loved having his very own snowman. He really loves "Frosty the Snowman" and watches that video a lot.
