Visiting the Strasbourg Christmas Market with Xaver and Lilli!
It was great meeting up with Xaver and Lilli; we miss having them so close! We started the day with a quick visit to their new home in Karlsruhe, Germany and then headed east to visit a fun Christmas market in Strasbourg, France. What a great day with great friends! :)
