Robert in the midst of the mess :-)
A few things my mommy got me. Those 3 stacked things are air fresheners...then there is lip blam in yummy flavors and a candle that sounds like a crackling fireplace.
Our Christmas dessert - Oreo Pie 
Our Christmas dinner. Turkey stew.
Me staring at this weird dog thing my mom got Robert....LOL.
Me in the midst of the mess :-)
A waterglobe fellow blogger Amy got me! I love it so much!!! Thank you Sister!!!
Mom got me a hand held mixer and 2 Cracker Barrel ornaments.
Mom got me 3 bra tops for those hot summers in Dallas...LOL.
Mom got me this...Here is what it looks like opened.
Closed.
Hubby got me the expensive fancy laundry detergent. I would never buy this because it's way too expensive, but I am glad I got it as a gift. 
Some girly stuff from my beloved.
2 cookbooks and a new skillet from my beloved. Our skillet we have now has stopped being 'non stick' even when we use that non stick spray...LOL. And I am an avid collector of Gooseberry Patch cookbooks so I am really blessed!!
Got a winter fleece bonnet from my buddy there in Scotland, Michelle (thank you sister, you know I love it so much) and that Christmas tree is a berry smelling candle from Melodie.
2 new snow globes from my beloved.
Christmas books from my beloved.
Lisa Frank stickers from my beloved.
It's a tealight candle holder from my beloved.
Miscelleanous stuff from beloved. I got a itty bitty mini Santa ornament, a Lite Brite with pegs and a kitty cat desk calendar and a Santa tree topper.
Fabric softener from my beloved.I know, I know, I am 5 days late in getting this blog out. Sorry. I was procrastinating with taking the pictures.
Christmas went by so fast, I mean really fast I feel like I didn't get a chance to enjoy it. And no, I wasn't baking up a storm or running around Christmas shopping, it just went by too fast for me and now here we are just hours away from 2008! Umm...hello...Father Time...wait for meeeee!!!!
We had a wonderful Christmas nonetheless and even though it didn't snow it was still nice and frosty out and it was beautiful to stare out the window and look at.
So this was it...our final Christmas in Germany.
God Bless You!

Looks like a fun mess.
I got a little put off at myself when I realized I didn't take any pictures this year.
The kids said we could re enact our Chriatmas. All I'd have to do is buy gifts. HAHAHA!!
Next year I'll wear my camera around my neck. LOL
Have a great day!
That is a wonderful mess! LOL! I am glad you had a great Christmas!
LOL! Wonderful fun! ;) On the non-stick pan....I really got into Pampered Chef at one time. LOL...I got 23 stones and solely cook on them.. LOL I do have the PC Nonstick cookware.....and one thing the consultant told us was not to use Pam and stuff on them because it takes the nonstick coating off of them over time...which is why....LOL we used to go through so many pans. PC has and I just saw one in a newspaper add the other day at a regular store.....they are spritzer type bottles and you put canola oil in there...instead of the Pam and it doesn't hurt the pans like Pam does. Hope this helps :)
Dawn~ when do you all PCS back the States? Prepare for the transition and culture shock back to the States. LOL I remember coming back after being stationed in Italy........and it was such a culture shock. LOL LOL LOL
We will be coming back the end of June God willing.
You know...people said we would have culture shock when coming to Germany. I didn't have it. To me it was just another place to live. I didn't have any problems adjusting or anything.
I know when I have went back to Florida or Indiana to visit while here in Germany, I fit right back into society again...so I don't think I will have much of a culture shock.
Thanks for the advice on the non stick pan stuff. :-)
Bless you!!!
WOW! That looks like a lot of gifts! FUN! =0
You have some lovely gifts. I'm glad you had an enjoyable Christmas. I enjoyed all of the photos. Thank you for your comment and your idea. We do plan to serve Daddy's favorite meals when he returns. We are looking forward to it very much!
Enjoy your week!

Belated Merry Christmas, Dawn. Those are some great gifts! So thoughtful to buy "practical things" like the laundry detergent. :) Here is a tip to make the fabric softener last a super duper long time:
Get a few cheapie wash clothes (wash them first to get them soft.) Dampen them with water and lay them flat. Use about two tablespoons of non-concentrated softner, less if concentrated, drizzle over the washcloth and fold it up and give a pat to get the softener to soak in. Toss in prepared cloth with wet clothes like a dryer sheet. After a few cycles, the cloth will be saturated with softener, so you can just dampen it with water and use it without adding any extra. I do this every few cycles. Your clothes will still smell nice and not cling!
