Chicago Christkindlmarkt

Jessica and I visited the Chicago Christkindlmarkt at the Daley Plaza last night.  The weather was a bit chilly with blowing snow, but thankfully we were bundled-up in our warmest Patagonia coats.  :)

Our first stop was to purchase some candied almonds.  They were still warm and were delicious.

We bought some cute little schnaps “Stamperl” from Straub-Art-Glas.  We still have some Austrian schnaps left from the bottle that my friend Daniel brought back last year.  I think the schnaps will taste amazing from these glasses along with some fondue.

Jessica and I shared a glass of Gluehwein.  It wasn’t the best that I have ever had, but not the worst either.  At any rate, it hit the spot on a frigid December evening.

Our final stop was a Bratwurst mit Sauerkraut und Senf.  Mahlzeit!

Wer passt auf wen?

We are doggysitting our friends’ greyhound, Willow.  I am not exactly sure who is watching whom…

Jessica, Juli and I drove to Pine City, MN to celebrate Thanksgiving with Jessica’s family.

On Friday we went on a little hike along the Saint Croix River in Wisconsin.

Juli had a lot of fun exploring the great outdoors.

Gemma!

Das ist Juli.
