Christmas

This Christmas was one of the few when we did not go back home to our parents homes to celebrate this special time of the year. Well, we had a good excuse as Florian was just turning a dozen days old at Christmas... Instead we invited my parents to celebrate with us! They stayed with us for a while and their helping hands were greatly appreciated during the first weeks as a family of four! (AND thanks to my mother, we still got all the delicious Christmas meals like at home!!!)
The Christkindl was very generous with Anna - unpacking all her gifts lasted until the next days despite grand dad's help:
But our greatest Christmas gift was of course our new family member:
And Florian got (and is still getting) a LOT of hugs and kisses...

Florian Leopold is born!

A new Annemarie Moser-Pröll?

Soon, Anna will turn two years old - high time to get her into touch with real winter sports!!! And luckily, Anna was quite fond of the idea! After only minor and short protest while putting on her skis, she discovered that skiing down hill with daddy is great! "Once more, once more!"
A new Annemarie Moser-Pröll? Maybe - maybe not? Anyway, she and her dad had great fun in the snow!
Let's really hope that this winter will bring us lots of snow also up here in Potsdam - its so much fun to sledge, ski, play in the snow and build snow men!

Cookies Baking III

Coconut macaroons were the chosen sort of cookies of the day! The easiest part was mixing the ingredients (mostly sugar, egg white and coconut raspers):

The subsequent step of placing the sticky coconut mixture onto the wafers was a bit more difficult...
But with full concentration, we also managed this difficult part of making macaroons.
Now, we have plenty of cookies to enjoy - and a kitchen floor which desperately needs swabbing...

Snowy Sentinel

We have a new sentinel on our balcony! Unfortunately, he likes a booze once a while....
