Christmas Day, Black Forest, Germany

And will the real Christmas day please stand up!!! -- Finally the 25th December arrived - and we found ourselves in Hotel Schloss Hornberg preparing for Amos and Beatrix's wedding. We had our own small family celebrations in the morning which included reading our nativity story book and giving Caleb his now-favourite toy in the world - a duplo digg-digg train. We played jumping on the bed, received a cool advent-calendar train from Amos and Beatrix, ate a huge 5 course dinner entertained by a harpist, witnessed a commemorative canon firing, and all-in-all had a great day celebrating. We missed our families and usual people we would be seeing at Christmas time but we enjoyed the celebration and excitement of remembering Jesus birthday - OUR GREAT SAVIOUR!!!
