Family

We missed many things about Germany while we were visiting family and friends in the USA for the holidays.

Kevin was excited to GEEK out in this video about German engineering and math education!

We’ve learned a lot about how Germans celebrate Christmas. We’ve started a few new traditions, but have also kept many of our American traditions.

We’ve bought a few new traditional and truly authentic German Christmas decorations this month to really make us feel at home here in Germany as Americans.

It’s our first Christmas in Germany! We’re excited to blend our old, American holiday traditions with new, German holiday traditions. Watch as we trim the tree and get ready for Christmas.

We were very sad when all of the German Christmas markets in our area got canceled this year! But we refused to let that get us down, so we decided to bring the drinks and food of the German Christmas markets to us instead!

eing new to Germany, there are MANY new German Christmas sweets and foods we haven’t tried yet! Three of our kids were more than happy to help us taste-test goodies we found at the store.

Learning how to navigate the German secondary school system (gymnasium) has been quite challenging for our American children, but we’re finally understanding how things work.

Munich’s Old Town is absolutely stunning and beautiful. If you’re a history lover and only have a short time to see the city, then this video is for you!

Continue exploring Munich, Germany with us but through the eyes of our four children.
