We are learning about Germany this week. We made some cookies.
I liked Engelsaugen (Angel Eyes). They are cookies with a hole in the middle and they have blackberry jam in them. They are supposed to have raspberry. If you want the recipe, let me know.
Yesterday we made Lebkuchen. I liked it, it is a gingerbread type cookie. Mommy used a scale, because the recipe she has used weights. 
We also made German Rye Bread. That was yummy, but I was not fussy about the seeds.
I want to do more international cooking. Daddy wants us to do China next week!






We went on vacation. After we went to Uncle Joe’s we spent the night at a hotel. Then the next morning we went to the Creation Museum.I liked the museum. If you can go, I think you should. There was Noah and you could ask him questions and he would answer it because it was on this computer. You should go in the kids cave because it had something different. They had these light up things that taught us something. If you want to see pictures of when we went last time with Oma and Opa, they are

omma let us make brownies. We made brownies without any help except
Momma watched. The brownies were good!
Today was the first snow that we could play in. I made a snowman. Then when Momma came out to take a picture, it had fallen. I made another one. We used M&M’s for the eyes. The hat is my doll’s hat.




Once upon a time, there lived a princess named Andrea. One cold, rainy day, she knocked on a castle door. The prince opened the door. He asked her to spend the night and to eat dinner with the whole family. She did. She got to stay in a room with twenty mattresses all the way up to the ceiling! When no body else was looking, the queen mother put a bean under the mattresses. 
Princess Andrea and the princes became friends. Then a year later they got married. Then another year later they got a beautiful new daughter and a beautiful son. Then they lived happily ever after.

On Saturday we had a fun and busy day. We went apple picking. We picked some apples. I think they were Cortland apples. Adrian picked some apples from small branches (the low ones). He wanted little apples. I picked from high up in the tree, big apples! I was on Daddy’s shoulders.
Daddy treated us to hot dogs, A&W Root beer and chips. We got to eat in the car! We had dessert from Dairy Queen. We got a Dilly Bar. Audrey calls it a big chocolate chip ice cream on a stick. I never had one before. I liked it. Audrey says “yum, yum, yum”.
