Lot's to Catch Up On

First of all, hello Dumpknudeln at the Christmas market in Trier!  SO GOOD!  It was like a pancake ball not cooked all the way with warm cherry filling and vanilla sauce and nutella on top.  Yum!

My favorite part of the Trier Christmas market...

The parking sign i made for Nick at home.  I am a proud wife!  :)

I am a big fan of taking an extra 5 minutes and wrapping packages cute before sending.  It is like a gift in the mail ( well it is... )  Plus, it's fun!

Knitting mom's gloves by candle light while our power was out.  P.s. this is at about 2 p.m. , why is it dark?

Nick and I at Kuhl Beanz

We had 9 volunteer Santa's at Kuhl Beanz for the 3 Saturdays before Christmas

I think it brought the base some holiday cheer!

Nick was of course my favorite. 

Sorry to the others, but i am a bit biased.

Abby drew a picture for Santa to show him what she wanted

SHE IS PRECIOUS!

Aurora in her little outfit is enough to break your heart!

One of my 2 favorite boys!
All in all Santa was fun!
