On Christmas all the kids woke up and opened presents!
Clarissa fell asleep on Tom’s lap. She looked very content there.
While Swathi, Soren and I made some Dorie Greenspan thumbprint cookies, Jere showed us all pictures from his Kenya trip on the television. He took some amazing pictures of scenery and animals!
Abe made delicious french toast for everyone for breakfast and then for lunch we had a big salad and leftovers from the past couple days.
After lunch I started cooking the sauerbraten for our German Christmas dinner, and then we cleaned the house and got it ready for our dinner with friends. At 6pm I took Swathi, Clark, Meera and Soren to the airport and at 7pm our guests arrived. I was still driving home but when I got home everyone was happily eating. It was so fun to see everyone! We had Jon, Shirley, Marea, Helena, Lesi, Chloe, Jon’s mom, Lesi’s mom, Karin, Jay and Jere over. It was a full house and we stayed up past all of the kids’ bedtimes visiting. But I think all the kids had a great time and it was so nice to see them all.
