Christmas Village

David has been adding to his Christmas village and it has doubled in size. I don't think anyone has a cuter village than he. He does such a great job and is so funny some of the things he adds, which are decorations for the tree. For example, Goofy on top of one of the houses tangled in lights. And it fits perfectly. No idea how he comes up with all of this. But isn't it cute!!!! We are having Disney withdrawals and keep wishing we were going again for Christmas.

Griess Soupe

I have become good friends with an Austrian family and they invited my mom and me over on Friday to learn how to make Apfelstrudel. It was a lot of fun. We always have a German Christmas Eve with German food and are going to make it for that. I made it yesterday with Phyllo dough instead of making my own because we think we like that better. It turned out really good but still not where I want it. I need to turn the temperature up on the oven. Still delicious though. While we were there they invited us for Abendessen and made Griess soup. She told me that she purchases the flour from Winco. It looks different than it does in Germany so we had no idea you could get it here. So easy to make and so yummy! I'm going to be eating a lot of this now.
