Espy's in Berlin - Frohe Weihnachten 2008!!

My family is in Berlin!!!! And it has been such a wonderful and magical Christmas - and we still have a few days to go until actual Christmas day! Gram, Mom, Dad, and Trey are loving the sites, food, train rides, ferris wheel adventures, countless Christmas market strolls, Berlin shopping, mug collecting, seeing Dresden, and spending the time together. I will share a few pictures to illustrate the excitement - I am sooo happy to have my family here and share all the things I love about living in Berlin with them! More pics and adventures to come : )

Dresden was so beautiful - a highlight of the trip so far for sure!

We all rode the ferris wheel and saw Berlin lit up at night!
