This and that

I meant to put this one in the last post. It is from my trip to America. My Grandpa Tom took us all to see some birds. It was really cool. There were owls, falcons and most impressivly 2 bald eagles. I got to stand really close and have my picture taken with this guy. Pretty cool.

We have been swimming a couple times lately. A little over a week ago we went to the Villacher Warmbad with Oma and Kathi and Julia. It was fun and, as you can see, I got to eat an ice cream. MMMMMMMMMMM YUMMY!

This past weekend we were at another Therme in Burgenland (about 2 hours from Graz). We went with my friend Finn and his mom and dad. It was so fun. We spent so much time swimming. Nils and I both love to be in the water and we had a great time. They all sorts of slides too (for little kids, big kids and even some for mamas and papas).

Christmas in America

Hi Everyone! As you can see I had a great Christmas in America. I recieved SO many wonderful gifts. It was great. I got to help decorate the tree with my Grandma, Grandpa, mom and dad. It was really fun. I also helped build a gingerbread house and bake Christmas cookies. It was really really great and everyone told me what a great help I was!

Nils had a great first Christmas as well. He even liked the rocking horse that my Grandpa Tom gave me. It even makes noises. I named him Brownie Brown. I can't wait to get back to the US so that I can ride him again.

I got a Cabbage Patch kid for Christmas too. My mom got one 25 years ago for Christmas. Can you believe that??? Well, anyway, I love my Billie Maybell. She even had a pacifier, which I like to put in, take out, put in, take out....... I got some of the old cabbage patch kid clothes from my mom too. It is pretty fun for me to watch my mom dress and undress my doll. :)

I also got some really cool baking things and an ice cream set. I love to make ice cream cones for anyone who wants one. Maybe I will even work for Colby Ridge one day, just like mom and Aunt Betsy did!

In addition to Christmas we celebrated Nils' baptism. My Oma and Opa came and so did Tante Kathi and Tante Julia. It was great to have ALL my family together. My great Uncle Dwight and his family came and also Karen and Jim (are we related???) ;) It was really nice. Aunt Betsy sang and Nils didn't even cry when Grandpa put the water on his head.

Have a wonderful day!
Love,
Zoe
