winter in the black forest
We spent the weekend with my in-laws in the South of Germany, where Hazel will be enjoying Christmas while we are in California. Their first big snow fall of the year fell the day before we arrived and I was completely in awe of how beautiful the Black Forest looks covered in snow, which meant I had my camera in hand for most of the weekend.
We visited one of my favorite Christmas Markets, the Gengenbacher Weihnachtsmarkt (I posted about it last year too), and don’t let this sweet looking photo of Hazel fool you… She is no fun at all at the market- we call her the vacuum cleaner because she literally cleans the street of everything that even mildly resembles food, and drags you along as she “cleans”. Little fatty, but we love her so. :)

December 12, 2012Next year, I’m coming with you to a Christmas Market in Germany, it’s one of the things I’ve neglected to (even the one in Strasbourg!) since I’ve lived abroad. Gorgeous shots, despite the gray skies!

December 15, 2012I love the feel of all of these – so wintery and cozy and festive. I love Christmas Markets but I’m sure none I’ve been to compares to a German one. My whole family is German and my grandma can never stop talking about her childhood Christmas Markets around this time. Now I understand why :)
