Orenhofen Fasching Parade -- 2009

Once again, Orenhofen's Fasching did not let us down. Fasching...the German equivalend to Mardi Gras...fills local villages with parades where adults hand out candy to the kids and alcohol to the adults. As you can see, the floats/costumes are all home-made, which makes it that much more fun -- you can tell that they really put a lot of thought into it! This is an experience that you can't truly appreciate until you experience it firsthand! JP, Nate and Sydney were the very happy recipients of tons of candy while Matt and Ben competed to see who could distribute alcohol to the youngest person along the parade route :-) We had a blast...and are already looking forward to next year's parade!

Mr. Snowman needed a girlfriend...

Monday we woke up to TONS of snow...so Matt and JP decided that Mr. Snowman needed a girlfriend. They are becoming quite the snowmen "pros" if you ask me!

Pics with Nana...

Here are some great pics of JP and Nana from her visit in January...we look forward to having her here for when Baby #2 arrives in April :-)

Building a Snowman with Daddy...

Both JP and Matt were VERY excited that we received enough snow on a weekend day to go sledding and build a snowman. With tootsie roll eyes, a carrot nose, and a mystery mouth -- how could you go wrong?? They were outside for nearly 2 1/2 hours playing around -- too much fun!

Where in the World???
