Finn Pyjama Day at school

At the end of March, Finn had pajama day at school. They were allowed to wear their pjs to school. In the letter to the parents it had said that they were allowed to bring their favorite stuffed animals and that they would be allowed to wear slippers at school. 

Well, I think they were not prepared to see this that day. 

Finn is wearing his new dinosaur pjs from Tante Marion, his dino slippers from Oma and he brought his shark from Amy and Ampy.

Finn absolutely loved it!

Austrian Dinner

This is for my mom: 

one night when Ben did not come home for dinner, we had Austrian Dinner at night. Kaiserschmarren ind Apfelmus! Yummy!

Art Sunday

Winter in NY has been long and cold. We tried to go out every day if possible - except those days when they advised us to stay inside because of possible frost bites. Yes, it was -29C here in January and February.

So we got creative inside and the kids did lots and lots of arts projects. Here are some from a cold Sunday morning!

Black Tie Event

Here is an old one I never published:

At the end of November Ben had to attend a formal black tie event for work and I got to go with him. It was really fun! I got my hair and make up done (which I never do otherwise - I do not even own any make up) and I got a cute little black dress and went into the city to meet him. 

I felt very special and enjoyed every minute of it. I picked Ben up from work and we ended up walking to the venue (no taxis to be found at rush hour) - the French Institute in New York.

First cocktail hour with lots of champagne and yummy little hors d'oeuvres. 

Then a delicious dinner with great company and a fun auction - unfortunately not in my price category. And the best about it was all the people watching. So many characters! I had a blast and it was really fun. 

Trying to take a selfie to show my make up

Finn and Lilly approved of my outfit
