The Allisons

The first picture was taken about a week

ago, during our biggest snow so far. Ezra scooted around a bit in the back yard. The strange thing was that sometime in the night it warmed up and most of the snow was melted by the morning. But temps haven't gotten above 40 in about 2 weeks.

The next series of pictures was taken last weekend when we went to a town called Bad Wimpfen for a Christmas market. There sooo many Christmas market to go to. All big towns have at least one, and many small towns have them as well. Most of them have a lot of the same thing, but they might add a couple of local specialties either in food or craft and performances by local singing or playing groups. We missed a middle school band performance in the square. Bad Wimpfen was a cool, old town about an hour and half away.

Jonas was appropriately bundled. Mike even zipped up his jacket around him after we took this picture. So he was good. Ezra on the other hand, was a little chilly. We forgot a hat for him, so I attempted to wrap his head in my scarf and pull it around his neck--like an old lady. He had a coat on and a blanket over him, but I think his legs were cold. We only walked around for a little over an hour probably. Here Ezra and I are enjoying hot chocolate and a waffle.

Here's Jonas and his red cheeks. We started cereal a couple of days ago. I don't think he can decided if he likes it or not.
