This year we enjoyed Thanksgiving with 4 fun families. I guess everyone know what goes down on Thanksgiving. Great food, fun games, good times...
the kiddos...
One of our favorite Christmasy things to do out here is the German Christmas markets. They have them all over. This is the Trier Christmas market. It was way packed but always a pleasure.
If you ever come visit us we will take you on a food tour. Here Mark is modeling some Flammkuchen. One of my FAVORITE things that I have eaten since we have lived in Europe. But we usually can only find it at Christmas time. It may be the one thing I miss the most when we leave.
Here I am modeling the Flammkuchen before I completely devoured it in like 10 seconds. I really should learn to make it.
These girls love a good nativity.
carousel rides are always a must with our girls. We eat, they ride. Everybody wins.
A little Christmas shopping. Trying on hats at Rofu.
Proud homeowners of gingerbread/graham cracker houses they made at play group.
Picking out our tree at the local commissary on base.
The tree was too heavy for Mark alone.
Nothing brings more holiday cheer than the laughter of little children. Crazy mayhem going down at the Olsen home!!
Boys glued to the Wii. Girls rooting them on.
We had a fun little trip up to the Frankfurt temple. They have dorms you can stay at. Makes it nice for child swapping with some friends. You have to pay extra for this fabulous temple view. The temple view suite. I kid.

Love all the pictures. Made me smile. I cant believe how big the girls are getting.
LOOOOOOOOOVED this post. I miss your sweet family and I felt like you guys weren't so very far away with all these pictures. Your tree looks like it has more character than any I've seen this season- love it:)
I remember the Austrian markets they had in every town, although it was Easter, not Christmas. Amazing, though.
So glad you guys have made great friends over there.
Merry Merry Christmas!!!
Love all the pics! It looks amazing over there. Glad you all are doing well. Hope you enjoyed the holidays!
Not sure why, but this post totally made me miss you. I think it was the joke about paying for the temple view. Girl, why can't we live closer, or at least have more money and time so we can see each other more often. Hmmm. Soon.
Hey Guys, it your old buddy Steve Chandler. I've missed a couple of calls from Mark but I don't know how to call you and I don't have your email. Would love to chat and catch up so lets find a way to communicate!
