And it sure been a cold, cold winter...

We went to Lahde this weekend to celebrate my mum's birthday.

There was a lot of snow which fitted perfectly to this christmas 'Vorfreude' feeling. My mum lives just opposite the church of Lahde in a nice little flat. We stayed at my sisters, so we walked along the main road of our hometown to visit my mum. It was wonderful! That reminds me, this year I haven't had a snowball fight yet.

The house of the second picture looks for me like a 'Hexenhaus' or gingerbread house, the one which you read about in Hänsel und Gretel.

Unfortunately there was no time for us to walk at the riverside of the Weser. I would have loved to take pictures, but next time I will!
