This is a group shot of our church 'small group'....we had a progressive dinner this past week.

It was lots of fun with everyone smashed in our kitchen!

Buddies.

We went to the Aachen Christmas market yesterday - mom enjoyed the shopping, and dad ate his way through (fried potatoes, nutella crepe, chocolate covered strawberries, bratwurst brochen, candied almonds and cashews, and Starbucks coffee! - ok, we helped him eat all that too!).

The Aachen cathedral in the background.

A few friends went with us too.....the chocolate covered strawberries were YUMMY.

A family photo in the street.

William's brother Mike and his wife sent us some "redneck wine glasses" and we LOVE them!  Look closely, it's a mason jar on a fancy stem!  Is that clever or what!??!!  They match our other drinking glasses (mason jars!).  Thanks guys for the gift!
