Back from a week of celebrations

I am finally back from my little Christmas getaway and still am feeling relaxed and stuffed from all the good food. After working until 3pm at Christmas eve, I celebrated with my parents, sister and grandparents. We had a quiet afternoon and evening with lots of cookies, good food and nice talks. In Germany the children get their presents during that evening and my dad was supposed to play Santa later that night for family friends and their little 3 year old son. He already had the costume at home and we decided to let him bring our presents as well. Prior to receiving the gifts, each had to sing a song or recite a poem. It was lots of fun and a great way to celebrate together.

After returning home from work, I had not a lot of time to prepare. Therefore, I had selected my outfit prior, but had no time to do something really fancy with my hair. I guess that will happen on New Year's Eve now :)

I wore my bright red skirt and one of my favorite shirts of all time for the occassion and my lovely sister took my outfit photos. We missed the sunset and had to take them inside, but they turned out quite nice still!
