The holidays have really crept up on me this year, mostly because I was sick for the last week of November and the first two weeks of December. I'm finally back to 100% just this past week, but now there's so much to do in so little time that it's been a little crazy! Anyway, I doubt you want to hear all the details, so I'll move on to the fun stuff...
We had hoped to fly home to the USA this Christmas, but Carl's work schedule and our budgetary restraints made that impossible. We won't be alone however...thanks to the kindness and generosity of our friends Volker and Johanna and their families, we have been invited to spend the holidays in Tübingen, Germany! It's a pretty university town in the state of Baden-Württemberg in the southwest of the country, and we've never been there before so we're very excited to see the area and experience a real German Christmas. We leave tomorrow afternoon and return the evening of the 28th, so we will have plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings and partake in the holiday celebrations!
So to all our friends and family near and far, have a very Merry Christmas, and I will write again soon!

So did you have a white Christmas? We had about 18 inches of snow in Portland, and the skiing has been great!
Sorry to say, nope, no white Christmas. We did drive to Freiburg, SW of Tübingen, and saw snow in the black forest. It was a really good trip though. Looking forward to going back there in June for our friends' wedding!! Maybe a side trip to Munich as well...
