I'm Still Here...

Sorry it has been so long since I last updated our blog... life happens. Here are some pictures from our visit to CA in April. I am so thankful that we had an opportunity to go back home and visit family and friends for two weeks. It had been two years since we had been back home, so it was awesome to see everyone again! We had a great time there and the weather was wonderful...I had a hard time leaving. Thanks for the fun memories everyone...I miss you all!

Snow!!

The snow finally came! We have been waiting for it all winter and we began to lose hope that we would see any this year, but it finally decided to make an appearance. Emma enjoyed playing in it so much that I had to make her come back in the house to warm up.

Snowboarding Trip

A few days before Christmas, we went on a short snowboarding trip to Garmisch, Germany. It was a long drive so, we took our time getting there. We stopped in Rammstein, Germany the first day and stayed at the base there. The next day we stopped in Munich and walked around the centrum. Then we made it over to Garmisch to go snowboarding. It was absolutely beautiful there! We had a great time and Emma loved the snow!

Merry Christmas!

We had a nice quiet Christmas at home. We made aebelskivers (Danish pancake balls) and sausage for breakfast. Then for dinner we had a ham and potato salad. Later we Skyped with our families. It was nice to see them since we couldn't be there in person. Matt also wanted to start a new tradition by dressing up as santa for Emma. She was a little confused when she first saw him, but she figured it out. We hope you all had a nice Christmas and may you be blessed in the New Year!

Emma's 2nd Birthday

Decorating the Christmas Tree

Dublin, lreland

Last week Matt surprised me with a trip to Dublin, Ireland. I had no idea where we were going until we got to the airport. It was a fun surprise! We spent a few days in Dublin relaxing and seeing the sites.
