The last few days have been fun and relaxing.
Monday we got our Christmas tree. It’s small, but cute!
There's our little tree!
We also did some shopping around town.
On Tuesday, we went to the Recyclinghof in the morning (a new and exciting experience for David), hiked through Wolfschlucht, ate Döner Kebap for lunch, and did some more hiking in the afternoon. We went through Sitzenkirch up to Schloss Burgeln. All the snow had melted by this point.

We ate dinner with a group of RAs and teachers, then went to a fondue party (Katrina melted a bunch of giant St. Nikolas chocolates for the fondue). We played lots of games as a group, including Fish Bowl, Telephone Pictionary, and Four on a Couch. The RAs kept saying how exciting it was to have the freedom to actually stay out and do something fun!
Wednesday morning, David and I ate at Heitzmann’s bakery for breakfast. We did some grocery shopping, wrapped gifts, and relaxed.
Thursday morning (Christmas Eve) we woke up and went for a run to Hammerstein. We baked pumpkin bread in the afternoon, and went to the 4:00 Heiligabend Gottesdienst (Christmas Eve service). I played a few violin trios with Peggy and Kara Stuckey. After the service, we made Curry Wurst for dinner, and baked Christmas cookies all evening. Rachel came home from Paris, and we were all a bit slap happy. David and I made some really funny cookies. My favorite:
The Walrus!
Also good:
Moosen! Meese! Brian Regan anyone?
No, those cookies are not green. It’s just the lighting.
We Skyped home and watched Up. A fun Christmas Eve!
Those llamas were amazing! Especially when they started following me!
I LOVE Brian Reagan!
