Sarah's birthday

Sarah turned 11 this year... Wow... our baby is growing up too fast! She requested a red velvet cake, which I attempted to make from scratch for the first time. It tasted yummy, but was brownish-pink since I ran out of red food coloring. Oma came to wish Sarah well of course... The following weekend we went to the new bowling alley in Drackenburg for some fun with her friends from school. It is a joy watching you grow up sweet Sarah! Wir haben dich lieb.....

Snow!

Germany got a ton of snow this winter. It snowed on December 17th and didn't melt until mid-March. This is very abnormal here and nobody can remember getting this much snow in many many years. The girls had fun building snowmen, sledding and having snowball fights! I even pulled Hannah to school a few mornings on the sled and used it to schlep home groceries since biking was out of the question.
