My Mom is here!

My Mom from Germany is here since Dec 3rd and therefore I have not been posting as much as I used to (not that I posted much before...LOL). But now we are kind of busy in doing things and my Mom will leave on Christmas Eve and so we enjoy the time that we still have.

So, where to start?

Chris put up our Christmas lights on Thanksgiving weekend. He needs to climb out of the guestroom window onto the garage roof to install the lights on top of the house. I am thinking of leaving the lights there for the entire year, so that he does not need to get up again to take themall down? LOL

I tried to help him this year but my adventurous nature only had me standing free on the roof for about 30 Seconds and I decided to get back inside...I am hight afraid so I did not want to take any chances. I tried to hang up some lights with the ladder over the garage door but let me tell you: I had already trouble in climbing up the ladder to reach the gutter (Regenrinne)!

So, no, this is definitely hubby's job!

My Mom got here when we still had a little to no snow remaining on the ground. But a couple of days later it snowed heavily and we were again in Winter Wonderland!

In fact,it was soo gorgeous that we went with the kids sledding down the hill at the park! We had so much fun, we were alone and it was just plain gorgeous!

Jonah pulled the sled up the hill all the time by himself and went down on his own. He LOVED it!

And here a Video with my Mom sledding with the kids!
