The day after Thanksgiving, Shelby, Darren and I began the Christmas season by heading to a Christmas Market in Bern Kastel Kues. This little town is along the Mosel river, and is known for its advent house ...

I love looking at all the booths with the wooden stuff ...

The next weekend, Shelby, Spencer, Darren and I went to cut down our Christmas tree. It was a rainy, muddy day, but we still had fun picking out our tree!

Our fallen tree... not too big ... or so we thought
When brought in the house, it has taken up half the living room! Pictures to follow Christmas ...
