This week was busy recovering from Christmas, playing with toys, putting stuff together, etc...
As always, Connor's birthday snuck up on all of us! We had reserved a big, empty building to have a big party with all of his friends but only a couple of kids could come so we thought it wouldn't be as much fun to do all that with only a few kids. It's hard having a birthday on a holiday. So, we decided to just do Miramar again. Connor didn't care, he loves that place!
They love to play on the octopus. It took forever but all 4 of them finally made it to the top without falling or being pushed off!
We had to force Whitney to take a little snack break. She is such a fish!!
Everyone knows that Miramar becomes FKK from 7pm on. We planned to leave by 6pm, before everyone got naked. A little before 6pm an announcement (in German) came on overhead and everyone started cheering. We had no idea what was going on. The lights all went out and loud music started playing. It was a laser show, and it was awesome!! All the boys immediately started dancing and splashing in the water. We wanted to stay longer for the laser show but the boys were constantly reminding the adults what time it was. They were scared to death for the "naked hour"! It was hilarious!!
On the way home Whitney fell asleep and did NOT want to wake up to watch Connor open his presents
Awww...
After presents we were invited to a New Year's Eve party at our friend's house
She has this great grill to cook meats on top and potatoes and veggies below. It was sooo yummy!!!
Birthday cake and chocolate fondue!
Watching Cars 2 and trying sooooo hard to stay awake!
It's midnight!! Cheers!
Fireworks!!
One thing we can always count on in Germany are the amazing Fireworks on New Year's Eve. This year was no exception! We've always watched them from our house in our own village so it was fun to see them somewhere else. We ran outside at midnight behind our friend's house where you can see a great view of all the neighboring towns. There were fireworks going off in every direction! It was amazing!
After watching fireworks we went back to their house to light some of our own. The boys were loving it!! We had to break it to them though that they will never get the chance to do this again in the US so they should enjoy it while they can (and it's legal!)
It's after 1am and this little guy wouldn't stop until every match in the box had been lit! lol!
What a great night and a great year!
2012 I can't wait to see what you have in store!!!
