Christmas Markets
One of the most awesome things about Europe is the Christmas markets. Filled with candy, bratwurst, schokolade, Gluwein, Christmas ornaments, and other things distinctly European, it is a charming afternoon excursion. This year we have visited the Aachen and Maastricht Christmas Markets. Unfortunately, we forgot our camera at the Aachen Christmas market, which I believe is one of the prettiest. We still plan to visit the market in Valkenburg, which is housed in a cave that was used over 50 years ago to hide Jews from the Nazis. Koln pronounced (Cologne)also has a fabulous Christmas market but is so packed with people, it is a difficult venture with 3 little ones. My Christmas decor has expanded to include Kathe Wohlfahrt's incredible collection of wooden smokers and wooden ornaments. In my opinion, if you looked whimsical up in the dictionary, you would see her face there. Here are a couple of pictures we have taken to share our Christmas with you.

About Me
- Dana
- I'm an outside girl that loves horseback riding, hiking, camping,or anything that involves the great outdoors. I from VA though I currently live in Selfkant-Havert, Germany. I drink excessive amounts of coffee. My imagination often runs away with me usually to an awesome horse farm that is self-sustaining where I teach girls how to mesh being athletic, tough, and leadership quality without loosing that gentle and quiet spirit. According to Suellen from "Gone With the Wind," "You can always tell a lady by her hands." I believe there is some truth to that statement. A lady should be strong and capable of caring for her family, gentle enough to quiet tiny tears, ferocious enough to scare away monsters lurking on the bed, and capable of hosting the next ball. I really love having fun doing things on the adventurous side, and the more dangerous the better. I also enjoy drawing and writing some. I absolutely LOVE Traveling and am drawn magnetically to other countries and adventures!!
