Vic in Germany #1

On Dec. 15th I arrived savely in Germany. Everything went well.....besides I got my suitcase 2 days late. No problem though-my family took good care of me. It´s good to be here!

This is what it looked like when I woke up the next morning:



 


A couple of days later my mom and I went to Nuremberg. The famous Christkindlesmarket was one of our Targets. First thing to do was to eat "drei in an Weckla"- 3 short brats in a bun! AAAAAAAAWESOME!!!!



Then we strolled up and down the endless isles of the market to admire the goodies and attractions!




Yummy Lebkuchen!



Handmade wooden toys:




My favorite food of all times- Butterbrezeln!!!!!!!



Saturday my sister and mom invited some friends of mine over for a baby party- not a German tradition but a reason to get together and have fun. Here´s Jana with her moses-basket-cake! She made it just for me- ...and it took her about 6 hours  she said. Thanks, Jana!!!



I got a lot of books, in German of course, so that baby and daddy can learn/read/listen to the beautiful sounds of mom´s language! Ingrid, my mom´s cousin made 4 different hats and matching booties- sooooo cute and I can be sure nobody else has them! There was also a sleeping bag, some German traditional jewelry, CDs (one with recorded sounds of a hair dryer and running water), .... I had an awesome day with good friends and lots of cake!

Yesterday my friend Tracie and I started working on putting away all the baby clothes I've been given at the baby shower in Ohio! It was fun to go through all the things again- but there was a loooooot.......of pink!
So this is what it looked like before in the baby's room:



...and in the laundty room:



Here are the after shots of the closet...




...and the dresser:

Thanks everybody for the nice things again! We will sure get some good use out of them!
