Pics from Camera

My hubby arrived safe and sound and brought me the correct connection cord from the cam to the laptop... here we go with all the other pics from my camera:
First Night, Bjoern came over before bedtime and helped with bedtime routine for the kids. The next morning they were very sad that he wasn't there anymore. They really like him a lot...

Hamburg

Our last big trip to Hamburg today. After we've picked out our Christmas Tree with Opa we drove to Hamburg and of course the kids were hungry again and Bjoern quickly made some chicken and fries and they loved it :).
He also had a pink star balloon for Zoe and a Soccer balloon for Henry. Guess who was their best buddy? :)...





Our dinner was a big Ice Cream after we've checked out a baby store in Germany and also went on a boat trip. The kids and I had an amazing day again... only 2 days till Daddy comes home. Zoe really really misses him badly. She asks me every day when we can go home to see Daddy... can't wait to pickup Frank at the airport in about 36 hrs...

Special Day with Sisters...

Today we spent some special time with my sisters in Oldenburg.
Checking in with our brother Max 'at work' grilling champignons at the Christmas Market.
It's just so wonderful to see... the nicely decorated inner city and then you have these old buildings around... you just HAVE to see it.
Zoe found funny looking chocolate covered fruits :)
Schmalzkuchen *LECKER*... YAM YAM
Eis, real italian Ice Cream Parlor, I'll visit a lot more of these because I haven't found one of them in the USA yet.
My little chocolate monsters... Chocolate? Chocolate? I hear that all day long... even Henry learned a new word with it... urgh...

Sita's work space. We ran into a coworker of hers on the street in front of her building and she totally said: 'Are you Sita's sisters?????????' Hahaha... I guess we look a lot alike :)
Special Dinner, unfortunately not the best pics... Sita made some.
