Today, we finally got our Christmas tree!

The kids and I have all been anxiously waiting for Brad to get home from his business trip to the U.S. so that we could get serious about decorating for Christmas.  Since Brad came home yesterday, we celebrated by piling in the car and going Christmas tree shopping this afternoon.  We put Christmas music on, dragged out all the Christmas boxes, and by nightfall we had an official Christmas house.  We even pulled out all the stops and hung lights outside. 

Our third and final Christmas in Germany has begun!
