Germany smells like sausage

We saved our pennies for a long time so all four of us could go to Germany and it was awesome. I hope the kids remember at least something since they were so young but I'm glad I got to experience this vacation with them. It was great to meet Billy's aunts and uncles and even his older brother that he hadn't ever met before, and especially nice to have a personal tour guide and translator (Billy's Mom). We got to see quite a bit of sites and meet quite a bit of family it seemed like someone new came over, with candy and cakes, almost everyday. Billy's Aunt Karen was so nice to have us stay in her home and even went and bought a crib for Ashlynn to sleep in (even though she hasn't slept in a crib for 6 months she was a good girl and slept in it this time). His family is so nice and incredibly generous it was such an amazing trip. The weather was crazy it snowed almost everyday, not so easy to push the stroller in. So here are some of the good pictures we took.
and you pay to use the public restrooms or if you don't know you are suppose to pay the bathroom attendant you just run in and back out until your husbands asks you if you paid and then laughs and calls you a rule breaker when you answer of no

two years flies by fast

That's right my sweet little baby turned two
she says she's still my baby but just the fact that she can say "I'm your baby" means she's in fact a little girl. She is a lot of fun and surprises me everyday with all the knew words and phrases she learns. She seems to have a good sense of humor playing tricks on us however she tells us to stop if we are acting silly I can't believe she is already embarrassed by her parents. She already is so girly but that shouldn't be a surprise to me since she does spend the majority of her time hanging out with me, she loves to play dolls, and pretend to clean, she rubs Holden's back when he gets upset she's like a mini me although I don't like to clean nearly as much as she does. She shocked me when we asked her what she would like for her birthday and she said a purse and went right over to them and picked one out she loves purses anytime she sees a bag she puts it on her arms and claims it for her own, I thought she would be much older when she discovered her love of shoes and handbags I was not prepared for this, but I get a smile on my face when I see her wearing my shoes instead of her own, I just have to laugh when I'm running around the house Sunday mornings asking her where my shoes are.
she had a great birthday party she loved all her gifts and she knew exactly what to do when we lit the candles and she even blew them out all by herself I couldn't believe it, she just keeps surprising me with what she can do.
