Petty Adventures: Christmas 2010 pictures... finally!

Here are some Christmas pictures as promised...

I loved being home for Christmas! Christmas in Europe is just more christmas-y...and I got to take pictures of the family.

Rebecca loves getting pictures taken...so she was a perfect model. She is way more patient than Anthon is as a model. :-)

Barbie!

Rebecca and I were together in the bathroom and just trying some of mom's make up. My mom has sooo much good make up and it's always fun browsing around in her make up bins. So, Rebecca and I remembered one time, when my mom had bought a new lipstip that had a pretty intense pink color. She put it on Rebecca...and for some reason she looked like a clown, especially because of Rebecca's mouth shape. Anyway, while we were in the bathroom, we decided to put on all crazy colors on Rebecca's face...and after a while she reminded me of a Barbie. So... then we got the idea of taking some Barbie pictures and here is one picture of that shoot.

We also took some really Barbie-ish pictures, but I don't wanna publish them here. :-)

Rebecca is dating a guy from Stuttgart (they actually got engaged a couple of weeks ago) and I decided to take some pictures with them.

Sorry about the pictures that are not in order...

Little Katharina is such a fotogenic girl! And I love Anthon's hair in this one... haha..

I also love this picture of "little" Hans.. his eyes are so pretty!

I took these pictures on our way from Italy back to Germany. We drove through the Dolomites- what a pretty area!

I took the following pictures while we were driving from DC back to Utah. We could hardly see anything for a couple of hours. But we were in the middle of nowhere and didn't want to stop for several reasons.

When I was back home in Germany with my family, Jessi and her family came to visit us for a couple of hours.

Isn't this a cute picture??

My mom, Fynn and I went to Munich for a day. When Fynn saw the icycle, he had to have one. So I broke it off and gave it to him and as soon as he got it, he pretended to be Harry Potter. I'm often impressed with Fynn's imagination!

Although this Santa Clause was a really nice guy, Fynn was not too happy to see him. Fynn was sooo afraid of him and tried to escape. Maybe his bad conscience?!? :-)

I find this picture so hilarious!

Fynn recovered quickly as soon as he got a hot chocolate.

Anthon had to finish his internship with the state department, so he came a little bit later. I think I explained everything 2 blogs or so ago.

That's the Christmas Market in Augsburg.

We had dinner at a pretty cheap, but really good restaurant just 3 kilometers away from my parents' home. Yummy!

After we celebrated pre-Christmas with my family, we went to Italy to spend some more time with his family. This picture was taken at Juliet's balcony.
