Today I saw the first snow in Bruchsal - only a little, of course. Bruchsal is located at the edge to the Rhine valley and during the last years it was much too warm for a lot of snow. So we were happy to see just this little bit of snow.

Today is 1rst Advent. Ralf decided to go and take a look at the toy train exhibition and Martin went with him. They allowed me to join them. Ralf and Martin said, that it wasn't as interesting as last years.

Today is Sankt Nikolaus Day. In the morning all kids got some sweets and nuts in some socks.
Later in the afternoon Petra did some handicrafts for her school. She created some lights with napkins and she was very happy, that we offered to help her.

Again we helped Petra to bake some cookies.
Coconut-curd-cookies
We helped to put the hearts together for the honeycake-hearts
All together we helped to bake about 15 sorts of cookies - less than usually.

Today it is a busy day. First Petra has to get ready with the last cookies and then she has to bake a cake for dinner.
Then Sabrina has to go to train for her singing and at last we went to church to attend the Kinderchristmette at 3pm. The Kinderchristmette is a special service just for smaller children and their parents. It is only about 30 to 45 minutes, so for children it isn't too boring. The musical choir performes a little play and we sing three Christmas songs all together and we pray together. It was a nice and peaceful service.
After we were at home again, I helped Martin - one of Petra's sons - to wrap the presents.
Later I helped to set the table. We had corn salad / lamb's lettuce and chicken ragout and selfmade bread.
Then the most silent part of the evening began. Only some candles were burning, when we were allowed to enter the livingroom again. It was closed for everyone for the whole day. We saw the crib and the tree and many presents, but at first we sat down and sang many Christmas songs and listened to Ralf, who read the Christmas story. Then the kids brought the presents to the one, whose name was written on it - one by one, so everyone could see, what the other received.
Only now, after everyone had received the presents, Petra went to bring the cookies.
Then we sat down and played a new game: Keltis.
