We spent a great Christmas Eve at Oma and Opa's House. In Southern Germany presents are brought to the children by the Christmas Angel (Christkindl) on Christmas Eve. We were having coffee and cookies in the kitchen when the Angel (aka Opa) rang the bell and Emmi almost fell of her chair she was so excited. She apparently expected to actually see the Angel when she walked into the living room, but the disappointment didn't last too long. Next she noticed all the candles burning on the tree and asked slightly confused who's birthday it was :) and if she could blow them out. She loved opening all the presents and took her time helping everybody opening theirs. Lily was most excited about all the ornaments hanging on the tree and spent a lot of time trying to redecorate. Their favorite gifts were some handpuppets and a new baby doll that was supposed to be for Lily but got adopted by Emmi quickly and is now named "Emma". Lily gets to borrow Emmi's old doll "Tidoo" instead. Luckily Lily isn't to particular about it (yet).
We spent the next couple of days eating lots of great food and just hanging out and then it was already time to head back to Austin after 6 weeks in Germany.
