Happy Birthday Aaron

Aaron celebrated his 33rd birthday on December 15th. Because Aaron loves to cook, but does not get a chance to do it as often as he would like, he chose to cook dinner on his birthday. Not the kind of birthday that most people would choose, but he enjoys it. He also had a went to visit a castle that he had been wanting to tour since we moved here. Schloss Ambras is a stunning piece of architecture built in 1228. It was remodeled between 1528-1556 by Archduke Ferdinand II of the Hapsburg family. He filled it with a massive collection of armor, weapons and art. We won't bore you will all the history and details, but it really is amazing to live in a place where you can see and touch a part of history that we do not have a chance to see in the US. Here are some pictures Aaron took.
