Back to SCHOOL Feast

We had our first ever Back To School Feast tonight.  Stephanie Neislon over at NieNie Dialogues has done this for her children for years.  She is an inspiration and I am an avid follower of her blog.  I just love her idea of the "Feast" and thought that this year we would start doing our own dinner to honor the girls going back to school and all that the new year has to offer.  I had so much fun planning the dinner and making the girls their crowns.  Craig is traveling, so sadly he is missing out on the girls first day of school tomorrow AGAIN.  The last two years he was in Afghanistan.  NEXT YEAR he will hopefully be here.

Reese, Claire and Paige with their crowns in front of the dinner table.

Me and my Three Hands Full.

Paige is going to be in the 1st grade.

German bubbly for kids (non alcoholic), schnitzel, spaezle, salat and brotchen were on the menu all in honor of our new home.

Reese goes by Taylor (first name) at school will be a 3rd grader this year... While Claire will be in  a 3's class.

They helped serve

Paige dishing up everyones salat

Claire spilled her bubbly so she ate her fancy dinner in her panties.. LOL.

Thursday Three - Three Hands Full at Niederwald temple

Thursday Three - Taylor Reese

It is hard for be to believe that this little girl will be 8 in September. 

I love her personality and her smile

.  For the next three weeks I am going to share my three favorite pictures of each of my Three Hands Full girlies that I have taken so far here in Germany. 

     

Reese LOVES schnitzel!  We are in Rudesheim eating lunch.

the door is at the entrance of the Ubahn at the Eschenheimer Tor station.

waiting for ice cream on one of our many quick trips down to the Romer.

next week Paige :)

Paige and Reese

This is an adorable video from November of 2006 of Reese and Paige laughing at each other.. We were so happy to have Paige developing normally and it was such a relaxed time finally in our household.. This video will make you grin for sure.
