On the eleventh day of Christmas

my true love sent to me, eleven pipers piping, ten lords a-leaping, nine ladies dancing, eight maids a-milking, seven swans a-swimming, six geese a-laying, five golden rings, four calling birds, three french hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree.

On the eleventh day of Jamie's visit, we cleaned Oma's apartment and then I packed Jamie's suitcases. See before and after.... but not everything fit. After that we went to the hospital to visit Oma. Jamie said "good bye" and the alarm was set for 5 a.m.
Tag 11: Wir haben die Wohnung meiner Mutter aufgeräumt, dann habe ich Jamie's Koffer gepackt. Nicht alles hat rein gepasst... wird nachgeschickt. Dann sind wir nochmal ins Krankenhaus wo sich Jamie von ihrer Oma verabschiedet hat. Den Wecker haben wir für 5 Uhr morgens gestellt.

On the tenth day of Jamie's visit, Oma got ill, we called an ambulance, and she was admitted to the hospital. After that we went to town, ate some crepes at the market, went back to the hospital to see how Oma was doing and made our own Feuerzangenbowle that evening. Rum gets poured on the sugar cone, is lit up and the stuff drips into the spiced wine. Delicious!

Tag 10: Meine Mutter wurde ohnmächtig, wir riefen den Notarzt und sie wurde ins Krankenhaus eingeliefert. Wir sind nach dem Krankenhaus nochmal auf den Markt, haben crepes gegessen und sind zurück ins Krankenhaus um meine Mutter zu besuchen. Abends haben wir uns dann daheim selbst eine Feuerzangenbowle gemacht.
