Harry Potter Convention

I took the kids to a Harry Potter convention on base. I got Kristian a Slytherin robe to wear and he went as Draco Malfoy. Both kids had so much fun participating in games, making candy wands and winning prizes! Eliza won a wand that lights up and makes noises and Kristian won a replica of the Sorting Hat, very cool! Hopefully Daddy will be able to join us at next year's convention!

How Cute Is She?

I know I'm probably biased but I'm pretty sure Eliza is the cutest little girl I have ever seen. The older she gets, the more beautiful she gets. She's in this stage right now where she is obsessed with being totally girly with tutu's, princess crowns and wands. Here's some pictures I took yesterday of her!

A Night Of Bowling

Kristian has been asking to go bowling for a while now so we finally decided to go. Eliza wanted to wear her tutu and bring her princess wand and could not be swayed otherwise, lol. Our friend Randi came with us and we all had a great time even though nobody ever got a great score!

Dudeldorf Fasching Parade

It was so neat that this parade was right down the street from our house! The kids had a blast once again! I love being here and experiencing a whole new culture along with new traditions and celebrations!

Speicher Fasching Parade

This was our first Fasching parade and the kids were very excited to wear their costumes and had their candy bags ready to go! The "floats" that go down the parade route throw out candy to the kids, it felt like Halloween! Enjoy our pics!

My Secret Snacker Package Came!

I am on a Mom's group online and for Valentine's Day we had sign-up's to send/receive packages from "Secret Snackers". I sent mine all the way to Hawaii and received mine yesterday from Delaware! So much fun and the cookies I got are absolutely amazing! Here's a pic of what I got!

Mine and Dan's night out!

We decided to do an early Valentine's celebration since Dan was scheduled to work on the 14th. We went out for some Chinese food and then played some slots at the casino on base where we won $50! All in all it was a fun night!

An update on my look

Yes, my hair is black now and I am growing it back out. I enjoyed it short but can't wait to get the length back. I have been experimenting with my style lately and am really having fun with it. Clothes, make-up and hair, all great things about being a girl!

My little entertainer

Eliza is always trying to find ways to make people laugh and gets so proud when she is succesful! Here is a couple pictures from ths past week!

Of all the places to hide!

This is their new favorite hiding spot! They think they are just so clever, lol.

Fun Family Day!

We decided to take a trip to IKEA yesterday but not the one we usually go to. We went to one in Saarlouis which is close to Ramstein Base because Ramstein has a Chili's! We spent a good 5 hours at IKEA and spent 460 Euro! We bought Kristian a new bed and storage furniture to organize the kids rooms. Seriously, I have an IKEA addiction!

After IKEA we went to Volgeweh Base and went to their BX which is like a mall compared to our little pathetic one here! We got a PS3, I got Dan a Nintendo DS for his V-Day present and he got me a new camera! We also got a tent so we can take the kids camping this summer! I think they are at a good age now.

We finally got to Chili's around 9PM after I met up with a lady for what's comparable to our Craigslist and bought the Twilight hardback set for $50! I ate my favorite Quesadilla Explosion Salad and Dan got the Fajita Trio. The kids both got nothing other than Mac & Cheese. I swear they would eat that every day if they could! Enjoy our pics! I will take pics of our IKEA purchases after everything is put together!

My little clown

The German Kindergarten is getting the kids excited about the upcoming Carnival or Fasching and have put up circus type decor throughout the school and today they painted the kids faces like clowns. Kristian was very happy about his clown face and can't wait for Carnival!
