Louis Shell Structures Christmas Party '09

Christmas 2009 in Germany - Part 1

We are going to try being better about uploading photos to the family page here.

Here are some of the pictures from Sabine and my trip to Germany for Christmas.

We flew into Frankfurt and stayed with Sabine's Uncle Carl for a few days.


This is a picture of me in front of the Goethe House in Frankfurt. I posted this to the Facebook page of the Chicago Goethe Institute where I'm taking my German classes.


This is the Christmas Market in Frankfurt.


Sabine with her mom, Traudl, her Uncle Carl, and Carl's wife, Rosuita.


Sabine and I on the observation deck of a big shopping store in Frankfurt.


After driving back to Sabine's parents' house we had an afternoon coffee gathering with some of her family. There were delicious desserts to be had.


We did a little touring around Nurenburg while we were there.


On a tour of underground tunnels where wine and beer was stored, Sabine tried making off with a barrel. ;)


We got to see the Nurenburg Christmas Market, too.


A few days before Christmas we picked up a Christmas tree to decorate.


One of Sabine's presents to her dad was a Chicago Bears cap.


Sabine modeling some of her Christmas presents by the decorated tree.

I'll post more Christmas in Germany photos and then some New Year's in Switzerland photos soon.

Merry Christmas to All

Christmas 2009

I added a Christmas Lists 2009 item to the main page of the blog, and I updated it with the info Angela sent out recently. I cleared out all the other lists except for things like gift cards or food stuff that would be used up. If you want your list updated or changed in any way, contact Lou or myself.



Merry Christmas

Lost Hat

Is anyone missing a Shell Family baseball cap from the Alaska cruise? We just noticed that we have an extra one here. It seems to be sized for a daintier head, so I don't think it's a guy's hat. Let us know.
