My mission on Saturday was to wrangle the kids and keep them distracted far from home while B made ready the compound for her birthday party (more on that in future posts). The kids’ mission was to get their picture took (as we say in Oklahoma) with Santa. We killed two turtle doves with one stone (that metaphor is adapt particularly well to Christmas, no?) by going to Heidelberg’s Weihnactsmarkt.
The sun was out, but low on the horizon and disappeared behind the castle mountains relatively early. The weather was nice, but cold! 
It looked as though the Altstadt had been flocked, which made for nice shots in my opinion. 
The muscle man in the Marktplatz was carrying a hefty load of snow on his shoulders.
Santa was positively snowed under.
We parked near the Kornmarkt and didn’t make it past the Marktplatz. We instead headed to the ice rink and the girls gave it a whirl, Sophia with the aid of a helper penguin. Emily, as usual, was cruising around unassisted in a matter of minutes.
