It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!




Baumholder still holds a traditional tree lighting ceremony (so nice to see that these things still exist!  and without a need to be "pc").  My very own Daisy helped kickoff the festivities, singing carols as the crowd gathered to see the lighting and arrival of Santa! It was a very chilly night- we were doing our best to warm each others hearts with Christmas cheer as the winds blew! 


After the Big Man's appearance, we warmed up inside the CMR with cookie decorating and crafts!

Giant Cookies topped with a mountain of sugary icing!!!


Lulu's cookie

My baby girls!!!!!!

Lulu's snowman craft!
 We braved the cold at the end of the evening for a picture with Santa- Sam wanted no part of leaving his warm stroller.

Saint Wendell Christmas Market


A group of us headed to a local town's Christmas Market!  This is the BEST part of being in Germany for the holiday's!!!!!  These markets are all unique and each hold spectacular decorations, eats, and that special warm and fuzzy feeling!!!!
