a peek...

if you were to come over here and take a little peek in the window you may see a boy wearing a newspaper hat playing with his ambulance.

you may also see some pretty tulips soaking up that bright sun coming through the windows. the natural light upstairs is fantastic for pictures.

if you peeked in a few minutes later you would see that the ambulance and driver had been forgotten. he told me the woman had died. sadness.
but it was okay, because we did puzzles instead. and puzzles are cajus' favorite things in the whole wide world right now.

if you were here peeking right now i wouldn't have to tell you that i woke up to full on snow this morning. you would be standing in it, probably cold, but not too bad because it is 1*C here right now.
the streets, gardens, rooftops, and plants were covered this morning with fresh white snow. which probably wont stay too long, since it wasn't even in the forecast but...you never know.

then if you were to peek into my window downstairs, you may see me cleaning my room. it's totally clean now and all that is left is reorganizing my wardrobe, and sending clothes home to mama in the near future, yay! you would also see my massive addiction to nail polish. i really have every color, so if anyone needs some...let me know. i could totally open my own nail salon...except not, since that would gross me out.

christmas...

was beautiful.
my first white christmas.
my mama was here.
my first christmas legally drinking,
a.k.a the first time i didn't question my age.
[actually made me feel old]
a german christmas mixed with some american-ness.





we sipped yummy wine and ate yummy chocolate while little boys played with new toys, and old nativity scenes. we hiked through the snow to oma and opa's to visit with cousins and eat duck. i skipped the whole duck eating thing. we lit sparklers on the tree, and it didn't catch fire. we hugged, we were photographed by a ten year old with a budding love of that nikon.


we gave gifts. we got gifts. we had candles, fires, and shots. we visited a german christmas market, we went trigger happy with cameras and things covered in snow. we trekked through snow again, this time to church with our lanterns to recieve a light from bethlehem. we found icicles on the roof that were over a meter long.




we sang.
we danced.
we played.
we ate, drank, and we loved.
we celebrated.

dreamy...


truly,
dreamy.
you have to imagine looking out the window
coffee in hand
and aqualung playing in the background.
[ok, yes, i did slip a bit walking to get cajus from kindergarten but let's just focus on what is important...]
coffee.
good tunes.
snowflakes.
