An other year over ...

This year Christmas was really an adventure. Because of the cold weather and the snow we ran out of water on the 23rd in the evening. Luckily we had some bottles and on the 24th we went off to buy some more hoping the water comes back ... but it did not. The next days we went to our neighbour - who still had water running - to get some and the lucky children enjoyed drinking juice or sparkling water instead of water. After 5 days we loved to hear the water bubble through the pipes.

After everyone could get washed we went off to town to buy some new shoes.It is amazing how fast a child could learn to tighten the shoes if she wants to have them. It took her just some seconds and now she got new shoes and does not want to take them off any more.

The last days I did some knitting and so she also got a new hat. I am still working on an other one but it will be a present so I don't show it now. I hope she will like it :)

So now it is time to say good bye to 2010 and soon the new year will start. I wish everyone a wounderful night .. silent in Ireland and with a lot of fireworks anywhere else... May all your wishes come true!

Merry Christmas 2010

We wish all our friends a wounderful Christmastime!

winter winter winter ...

... is gone again but everyone says it's coming back tonight! So I just wanted to show some pictures from the last weeks :)
One morning ... 

my car looked like that ..

our garden in the afternoon ...

but the kids enjoyed it (not mine) ...

and the town looks so friendly in the sunlight ...

In that days the car was left in front of the house and I had to walk. It was nice and it really felt like winter but anyway I am happy that the snow and ice is gone. I hope the postman is wrong and the weather stays like today: sunny and warm!
