December 2007: Germany with the Smiths!

We just got back from a 16 hour drive from Germany. Needless to say, we are tired. Actually, John is tired because he drove all night, I am tired from sitting in the backseat :). Maggie is now a world traveler... France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, and Germany are now on her list. I am not sure if seeing most of it through the window of the car counts!

It was the first time meeting her Smith family: Grandma Stephanie, Auntie Susan, Uncle Dave, Tawnia, & Hannah all came to visit. We have found yet another place in Europe that we could call home... Garmisch Germany. The Alps are amazing, the food was to die for (potato soup, crepes, mulled wine, brats, roasted chesnuts, candied almonds... and don't even get me started on the pastries!!), the Christmas Markets were beautiful, and of course the snow.

Enjoy the pictures!

Cookie Time...

This year we made over 1000 cookies for all of the guys at 31... busy baking!

Going to see Santa Claus

Maggie was not really interested in our day out to see Santa Claus and to pick our tree. As you can see she slept through the entire thing!

Christmas in Norwich

We spent the weekend Christmas shopping in Norwich. It was the perfect winter weekend with a chill in the air and the Salvation Army band playing in the square.

Baba is here!!

We are lucky to have such a wonderful Baba!! Here she is spoiling little Maggie.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Maggie was an angel baby all day. She helped mommy in the kitchen and then stayed up way past her bedtime to enjoy the party!

Maggie Rolled Over!

Here she is just before she rolled from her tummy to her back. She was very proud of herself!

Hanging out in her Bumbo

Maggie is still trying to figure out if she likes her bumbo seat. We are keeping a close eye on her to make sure she does not fall out!

Happy Maggie!

Happy in her little Halloween witch outfit from Mike & Jen!

Relaxing with mom on the sofa.

Her new favorite position facing forward in the carrier. While it does not look like it, she does have neck control, but she likes to look up at the black and white ceiling! Walking through the house is constant entertainment.
