Heidelberg, Germany

It has been a busy week.  We helped Mimi with some Christmas baking!

 The weather has been beautiful!

 We went back to our little hometown and enjoyed a walk down main street.

 This is the little library I use to take Owen to all the time.  It was a little emotional going back.

 Balloon animals for the kids.

 This is the children's corner.

 How I miss this little town.

 Owen saw his art teacher from pre-school.  This is such a special lady!! She made such an impression on Owen at the age of 4!!  We love her!!

This is such a funny story.  I saw Santa and told the kids to go over to him.  Both kids were like NOOOOOOOO mom DON'T MAKE US DO IT.  I DON'T WANT TO!!  I was laughing so hard and pushed the kids over.

Can you feel the awkwardness!!!  Heeee....heeee.....  Meg is like......ugh.....no thanks Santa.

My very dear Saluda friend.  I love that we still get asked if we are sisters.  

We checked out the Tryon Equestrian Center.  This place is something to behold.  Meg being a horse girl was in heaven.  

 Owen helped Mr. Mark work on his tree house.

We went to the Grove Park Inn one evening to check out the Gingerbread houses.  

Each year in Saluda near Christmas they offer a craft day at the fire department.  We have been fortunate to go whenever we are in town and Meg loves it!!  She crafted from 9:30 to 12:00.  The crafts are amazing I feel bad I didn't get picture of everything she made! She brought home a bag full of the most amazing crafts.  And it's free!!  We were excited we were able to go this year!

Christmas is around the corner and we are counting down the days.  We are ready for a school break!!
