Fasching 2017
I Love Fasching!
We went down to the Chinese fasching parade in Dietfurt.
Great costumes. Great floats. Lots of candy.
It was fun to see the different personalities of this crew. One ate everything that was dropped. One ran around picking up all the candy. One stood around and waited for candy to be placed in her bag. And the last one had mommy open up all her candy.
The crew.
All the loot.
Love the Trump jokes!
Kate had a fasching party at her kindergarten. She wanted to be a princess, but they were supposed to be a forest animal. We made her Sven from Frozen and she seemed mostly content.
This is Kate's best friend from school.

Kristi's Visit
It was so much fun to see my little sister over President's day weekend. She was out here for a bobsledding competition and then stopped over on the way home. We went skiing in Soll, Austria again. Our cousins also came down for the weekend.
We went to Munich and watched the Glockenspiel chime,
ate lunch at the famous Hofbrauhaus,
and watched the surfers at English park.
The weather was fantastic. We went to Therme Erding, the largest indoor water park in Europe. We had too much fun to take pictures though!
My girls love Aunt Koko!

Kate turns 4
We had a friend birthday party for Kate at the local indoor playground.
Princess Sofia the first was the theme. We had strawberry cake, meat and cheese sandwiches, chips, and fruit/vegetable trays.
Kate loves to play with the cake decorating figurines.
Most of her friends were able to show up! Toni, Ember, Aspen, Iris, Ronja, Amelie, Ellie, Will, and Sami.

I brought all our dress-up clothes and the girls played around in them.
Blowing out 4 candles!
She got lots of fun stuff from her friends- fairies, coloring stuff, hair accessories, sticker dolls, crafts and bunchems.
Kate has turned into a little crafter. This is a gift she received from Will. She also enjoys play dough, painting, coloring, baking, dressing- up, and singing. She is really good at putting together puzzles too! She loves to be the center of attention and I can hardly get her to eat anything, except candy and dairy. She has become quite the handful, but we love her dearly!
On her real birthday, we had fun decorating at home and opening family gifts.
She got princess Elena from grandma and grandpa Koplin. It came with a book and movie too!
She also got money, clothes, chapstick, magnet tiles, candy,
and her 4 year old shots. I was a mean mom and made her get shots on her birthday. I actually didn't think she would be getting any shots. But then I found out they give shots to 4-6 years olds for kindergarten and I would rather hold down a 4 year old than a 6 year old. Jane got her 18 month shots too. It was a wonderful doctor visit.

Texas Bound
For those who haven't heard, we will be moving to San Antonio Texas in June. Bryan will be starting an optometry residency in July. I will be in Utah in June and July because my grandma turns 100! If you have suggestions on locations to live, daycares and preschools to check out, nursing jobs to apply for, marathons or triathlons to sign up for, or adventures to seek, let us know!

January 2017
We started to year off right- Jane got hand, foot, and mouth disease. Yay!
We finally got some snow! Kate and her friends went sledding in our backyard. Jane wasn't too sure about this stuff.
After some time, we convinced Jane that winter is awesome!
We went with some friends to Soll, Austria and skied our hearts out.
Kate took some ski lessons too.
My happy.
At the end of the month, we spent a whole week on one of the Canary Islands- Fuerteventura- with our cousins.
We biked along the rocky coast.
We went nude at some of the beaches.
We jumped off sand dunes.
We rode a 4-person bike with the girls.
We enjoyed much needed sun and sand.
And we rode on camels!
