JJ Bean and The Christmas Market..

How do I love thee?--let me count the ways...

very festive!

The 1st annual Christmas Market in Vancouver was reminicent of the markets in Austria that we visited when Gretchen was there. It was delightful. We mostly ate--schneitzal, brats, streudal, crepes, mulled cider..and took lots of pictures of E at her first open air market. Grandpa enjoyed taking her over by the bands where they were both enthalled. E by the band, G'pa was and is pretty smitten by his granddaughter.









Someone needs to straighten this "stache" for the picture.
