Welcome to a New Year
Christmas in the Mellmann house was quiet and relaxed; a nice change of pace to the long days and busy schedules leading up to the break. Joerg took about two weeks off from work, and the kids had almost two weeks off from school. Our Christmas break was spent decorating cookies, playing games, sleeping in, staying up late, and enjoying the lack of schedule and obligation. We did manage to get a few little projects done, and Joerg spent a couple of days working on finances in preparations for tax season, so we weren't complete slouches the *entire* time. :) So, from our family to yours, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Frohe Weihnachten und Frohes neues Jahr!
