We spent a quiet but wonderful Christmas together in the apartment in Aachen.
I woke up to find a wonderful pile of Christmas treats waiting for me.
At my request, Vladimyr made biscuits for breakfast and it worked out perfectly - he was just walking around looking for a tea-towel to keep them warm when I had him open up his gift from me - a hand knit biscuit blanket!
I then got to open my Christmas gift - a sweet little Harrods Christmas teddy bear.
We spent most of the day lounging around, reading, listening to Christmas music and eating our treats. We watched "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and then made a yummy Pork Roast for dinner (okay, Vladimyr made the dinner, I supervised)
After dinner we played out new game that we picked up the other day. "Minotaurs" is a board game put out by Lego. The game play is like most board games ( you have to get your pieces to a certain point) but the board is made out of legos and throughout the course of the game, the board layout can change. It's pretty neat.
Here's a picture of the Minotaur about to eat one of my guys
In the end, Vladimyr won. :-)
We figured out the timer mode on our camera so that we could get a picture together.
We are thinking of all of our family and friends on this holiday and wishing all a Merry Christmas.
That game looks like fun!
