Second Half of My Parents' Visit

And now the rest of the pictures from my parents' trip...

Walking to their hotel on Christmas morning.

This was part of the outer town wall.

Christmas Mimosas!

Opening Presents

Shout out to Crista! Love my new bangles that came all the way from India!

Momma with her new Longchamp, and of course her famous peace sign!

Gifts from Ilka!

Woo hoo! No more lugging a rolley suitcase around on the cobblestones!

My giant new travel backpack and Serge's little daypack for weekend trips (and beer runs to Edeka)

Testing the size and durability of my bag by getting inside it.

P.S. I'm aware that my hair is a giant mess in this pic, but Serge loves it :-)

Looking good in their new Jack Wolfskins

I love my Momma!!!

"Today influences tomorrow" :-)

Brats at the Christmas Market - Yum!!

"Here Serge, hold my wiener while I go get us some Glühwein" :-)

Hot Chocolate with Whip Cream and Amaretto,

the perfect beverage to accompany a Kinder Chocolate Crêpe! 

Serge's new winter hobby, downhill sliding

I'm not so good at it...

Pretty sunset on Christmas evening, 

or actually afternoon since the sun sets at 4pm here!

My gorgeous momma at dinner on Christmas with her Latte Macchiato

"You can't go wrong with Jesus!" :-)

Our house!

Enjoying the Weihnachtsmenü at Kaiser im Viseum

Neat deco.

Serge showing Mar Mar where he lived in Salzburg

Hiking in the snow

On our way to the Volkshochschule

Spilburg Barracks 

We're pretty sure my grandfather was held here as a POW!

VHS

Such a trooper!

Her fingers may have been purple and numb, but that didn't stop her from going to see where her baby girl is going to take German classes!

Awesome photography work

Holding back tears before our last dinner together

Such a fun dinner!  

We were supposed to leave by 9pm, so we could pack and get ready to catch the train at 6:15 the next morning, but we ended up staying until the restaurant closed! :-)

Snowy goodbye!

Thank you so much, Momma and Daddy for coming to Wetzlar and spending Christmas with us!  We had such a GREAT time with you, and we miss you already!!  And Liza, we missed you and Jesse so much (and still do), and we cannot wait for y'all to come over here once that bun is out of your oven!! :-) We love you!!!
