FINALLY!! Christmas Markets!

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted anything on here. Our December was so overwhelming it took me forever to download the pictures on here without getting frustrated with error messages!~ We had a blast going to tons of Christmas markets from Thanksgiving to Christmas Eve. It is by far one of our favorite things to do. Enjoy all our outings (pictures)!

Last Christmas market of the year..........

Valkenburg Caves in the Netherlands

We took a bus tour with USO to Valkenburg caves which they turn into a Christmas wonderland market during December. It was so much fun!

Also on the tour, Lindt chocolate factory. We got loads of goodies!

The biggest piece of chocolate I have ever seen!

Outside the caves
