Hey, Everyone! I hope Grandma is peaceful today. Much love to all of you.
Yes, Monica, we have some hills to sled down! I live in the little village of Vilseck with 6,300 people. We are on a smaller mountain about 1,350 ft above sea level. But about 30 minutes away are some mountains around a large city called Amberg and it is about 2,500 feet up. That is almost as tall as Backus Mt. We are also really close to the Bavarian Alps with mountains 9,721 ft tall, and the Swiss Alps are just across the border. They are even taller there. We go to a resort in the small town of Garmish-Partenkirchen in the Alps. That is the two towns Hitler forced to combine (he threatened to send them to Dachau) for the Olympics, and they have stayed combined. Beautiful skiing there, with the farms and mountains. It is nothing to see famous people in the area on ski vacations. And Olympians often practice there. But I don't ski--I hate the ski lifts. I am afraid of heights, but Joe and Aleya aren't.
I love your pictures by the Christmas tree. And Marleigh is so cute :)
We have less than a month until Joe comes home for 2 weeks on R&R, so we are starting to decorate now.
Love to you all!
