I know what I see- There is grace at work, here.

German Weinachtmarkt and Gleuwein <3

What may you ask was my first stop upon arriving in Germany from England?? A visit to the famous Weinachtmarkts (Christmas Markets)! They had an amazing one going on right here in Stuttgart… Talk about food, and decorations, and more food, and Gleuwein! YUM! Mom and I spent an entire evening just wandering the streets, enjoying the delights of Germany at Christmas. And after Drayton arrived, we made a day-trip to Esslingen for a Medieval Weinachtmarkt! Very cool and realistic! Mom even had some very strange man invite her into his “warming closet” (whatever that means?!) and Drayton learnt some interesting uses for a archery fore-arm guard… Haha :)

It was a perfect way to kick off the season! <3

{Mom told Carolyn she couldn’t have a waffeln unless she ordered by herself in German… Needless to say, it took a little pep-talk! Haha :)}

With Love from Germany… Mary Elizabeth <3
