christkindl market

 A couple of weeks ago we braved the below freezing temps (and crowds) and headed to the christkindl market. Beatrix was not a fan of waiting in the cold. but Cordelia was a champ. She could have taken a nap out there. Bea just whined that she had icicles. Even when standing right outside the big guy's house.


We met some friend in the Grand Timber House to warm up. This is Cordelia's butter-up face. She had high hopes of throwing back a cold one.


Desperate for even the smallest drop of Bitburger.

Santa was so kind and genuine. He took time with each of them, apologizing for the wait and hoping they weren't too cold. When asked what she wanted for Christmas, Bea panicked. "uhhh uhhhh I'd like a train....yea yea....a train." Santa sensed her apprehension and tried to get clarity by confirming if it was a Thomas Train. Bes just responded with a slow "yeeeaaaa...a thomas....train."
