A week before Christmas Jack's cousin Olaf was in Berlin for a visit from Frankfurt. Together we paid a visit to one of the chirstmas markets and then were playing silly at home.
Over Christmas itself we were in Frankfurt to visit Jack's relies. As usual it was very nice to be there - we were very well fed, got to sing Christmas carols and got lots of pressies. Tim got Duplo and can now stack the pieces pretty well.
After we got back we spent Boxing Day decorating our christmas tree at home. This year Timmy could actually help and was very excited about it :)
For New Years we had a very cozy celebration with a few good friends. We organised a very Russian table with Oliv'e and Herring Under Fur Coat salads. People also brought lots of stuff, so the table was almost bending with all the food and we are still eating leftovers. And like last year I baked a goose, who we decided was a direct relative of last year's goose Fedya. This one was also Fedya, and we decided that he was a polish (since he was actually from Poland) buddhist, given his reincarnation from last year. Either way, cooked to the now tried and tested French recipe of Julia Child he was tasty.
The night culminated as usual with Berlin fireworks all over the city. Unfortunately that resulted in Jack receiving third degree burns on one of his thumbs, which my poor husband is now nursing at the doctors every day this week to change the dressings. Aside from that it was a very good night and Tim slept for 12.5 hours straight without a squeak, even though the fireworks banging outside was pretty damn loud!
