We all took it easy on Christmas Day. Of course, we had a few people in the family who wanted to get to the presents part of the day quickly. We obliged and there were lots of presents to go around as every year.<\/p>\n\n\n

We had a very nice Christmas Eve with Austin, as we do every year. Arno helped greatly in the kitchen and also gave us an impromptu solo on his sax. At some point people did not want to be photographed any more. I must have overdone it. Wonder how \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n

Just a quick visit with Mom. Things are still not normal and pandemic testing is still required, but at least not all stores were closed. I met my first real boss in Cologne for breakfast after 26 years of communicating virtually!<\/p>\n\n\n

Arno started to play the sax two months ago and has gotten pretty good by now. He gave an impromptu concert tonight and even improvised for us.<\/p>\n\n\n

Arno’s friend Freddy invited him to a Mavs game, which was great fun. We hadn’t been to a sports even in ages and Arno is their biggest fan. Great atmosphere and a win at home. We could not have asked for more.<\/p>\n\n\n

Arno invited his two best friends over for a night of gaming and movies before we celebrated his birthday in style. He now has a really cool setup for his MacBook and can surely hack into any system by now. Dinner naturally involved our favorite Hong Kong dumpling joint.<\/p>\n\n\n

We celebrated Meredith’s birthday this week and had a lot of fun with it. Margo and I gave her a bracelet and shawl respectively. However, Arno had the idea to make her favorite food, Dibbelabbes, for her. He bought the ingredients with his own money and then out each in its own gift wrapping so that he could hide them throughout the house. Each gift contained a card with a clue as to where the next one might be. It was all great fun and delicious, too. On Sunday Austin joined us for lunch to celebrate as well.<\/p>\n\n\n

We are truly enjoying the freedom from the pandemic at the moment and grab every bit of normal life from eating in restaurants to going back to the museums. Everyone is still getting started and things are far from normal, of course, but it’s nice to experience the illusion of normalcy for a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n

Just a couple of shots from the past two weeks \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n
