Bernkastel-Kues Christmas Market

It was literally only 1 or 2 degrees above zero the day we went to the Bernkastel Market.  Tyler didn't really want to go, but I made him, and as luck would have it...he packed all of the kids coats and then forgot his own!  He must really love me, and I must really be cruel because we got out of the car and spent a good hour at the market anyway.  The kids were in snow suits, but our faces still froze and Sawyer finally decided that he was DONE!  We got lots of good things to eat before we left though and really, that's the reason we go!  This is also one of my favorite German towns!  It's so cute!  It's in the middle of a narrow valley covered in vinyards and there is a river along side of it with a castle on the hill above.  The house in the picture below has been decorated as an advent calendar and they open a new window each day.
