and enjoyed watching fireworks through the window!
Uncle Joeler came over!
the girls celebrated New Year's before their 8:00 bedtime!
and here was the last picture of 2012. Haha..I look a bit tired! But it's fun to see Kristin in the background. It was so great having them here. 2013, here we come!
car rides with Annalie - noticing all the ice cycles and Christmas lights! and singing jingle bells, and Rudolph the red nosed reindeer!
Aaron's sweet smile. He called Jorg "Yeg!", Me "Mimi!", and Rebecca "Barbie!" and always said our names so excitedly and sweet. He also loved making animal noises and could be cheered up really quick when we asked him in German, "what does the horse say?" or any other animal. He had a unique sound for each one! Our favorites were his head bob for the doney and his wolf howl :)
before the weather was way too cold (it's below 0 today! And our pipes are frozen this morning!) it was fun to go sledding!
here she is with Taylor and Elle
When we got back home on Christmas night, we knew that MAGIC had visited our house! Rebecca left Santa this note that she thought of and composed herself: "Dear Santa, I'm at Omi ad Grandpa's house. Can you come to Omi and Grandpa's house. Love, Rebecca"
He responded with, Merry Christmas! And he did, indeed send her presents to Brigham City!
Also, Diamond (her elf) left her a note:
part of it got erased. But each morning, in December, Diamond the elf hung around, keeping an eye on her. Then at night, he flew back to Santa to report how things are going. The next morning, he hid in a different spot from the day before. We kept it simple and it was really fun.
And here is a fun shot I got of her new pony castle (from Santa) with the tree in the background. Magical!
and here's this year's video of her Christmas Wishes:
About Us: "We like it!" is a phrase we often use in real life. We say it in a silly voice. And we are all about the silly! This is a blog about the lives of The Bachmann Three. People (mostly relatives) check-in here on occasion because they really like us. And we suppose they want to see pictures of that cute Rebecca! We must admit, she is pretty adorable. And great entertainment, too. Jorg is from Germany, Emily is from the USA, so we have a German/American family! Wir Mogen Es!
