Sunday 06.12.2009 Day 340

Santa Claus was here

It was a rainy Sunday. But the kids were very happy with the contents of their Santa Claus boots.

In Germany it is a tradition that Santa Claus is coming in the night from the 5th to the 6th December - to fill the boots with sweets and little presents.

After children´s church and lunch we played many times "Kakerlaken-Salat" and "Kakerlaken-Suppe". A really funny game - sure you´ll like it, too!!

So we had a lazy Sunday with some minutes of snuggling on the couch.

My younger son playing the guitar (picture from 22.11.)

We visted our christmas market in town. Then my husband did the grocery shopping and I went to the swimming bath with my younger son - for a christmas swimming competition.

It wasn´t really his day - after a week with stomachache - so he made "only" the
4.place in breast stroke, the 2.place (silver medal) with his relay team in freestyle, the 4.place in back stroke and the 3.place in freestyle.

My elder son wasn´t allowed to start because of his fever and bronchitis.

It was a cold day with 1°C degrees below zero in the morning and later in the day wet.

We had an appointment with the doctor of my elder son. He couldn´t go to school today because of fever, headache and bronchitis. The doctor told him to stay at home until he´s two days free of fever - and not to exercise until Friday next week (11.12.)

In the early afternoon my younger son had his guitar lesson.

What a wonderful sunrise on my way to the hospital - I had an appointment for a routine check.
