Things in the house have been crazy, we have been going in a million different directions but yet still finding time to create community, just not time to blog about it.
Since you last heard from us, we have helped Denise celebrate her Birthday. Denise had been planning what she wanted to do for her Birthday for weeks. So when the big day (or week) came around we went out to eat, enjoyed deep dish pizza (her favorite, I guess you can't find it in Germany), and several frozen deep dish pizzas that she can enjoy when ever she chooses.
Had a day in Chicago (this event was also kind of in celebration of Denise's Birthday). We all decided that we wanted to experience Christmas in Chicago. This included going to the Christkindlemarket, which according to Denise was almost like being home complete with chocolate, pretzels, and of course bratwurst.
Denise had said something about wanting to see the Macy's 3-floor Christmas Tree.
While we were in Macy's we also decided to take some pictures, which worked well in this 12 floor building. We found a secret show room.
And we enjoyed trying out some of the beds, to many employees around to jump on them though :) Can you find each of us?
Thanks to Cat for her great pictures.
We celebrated Christmas together and at our separate homes:
The week before we all left we had a great Christmas party with just the five of us, we also (with some help from our friends at the office) participated in a Secret Santa, which made things interesting as we hid things around the office and house for one another.
Carol stayed in Illinois and then went to Ohio
Rachel and Cat went home to Pennsylvania
Jeremy and Denise went to Jeremy's house in California.
With the new year also comes a new housemate. YEAH!! Welcome Kendra, who will hopefully introduce herself to you soon.
Blessings on the Year Ahead, Carol.
