Well, I guess we need to catch up and finish some blogs. Here are a few more photos from our time Germany.
Colin found a new friend
Here are a couple pictures of Tom’s parents, Walter and Irmgard. They are truly great people and Walter is an amazing cook! I could probably learn a thing or two...
While we were in Germany…
This is a slideshow of our friends Tom and Svenja. We were actually in Germany the beginning of December and Svenja’s due date was the 24th! What a great time to get some maternity photos done! These two are so much fun and I’ve never laughed so hard during a shoot ever! I...
This was one of the coolest little towns ever! It has amazing architecture, beautiful scenery, and an awesome all year round Christmas store. It is a very small town, but on the weekends it’s so packed because everyone comes in to shop. Tom’s parents used to live in Monschau and we got to drive by...
One day, Svenya took us to an old Roman town that has some ruins. She hadn’t been there since elementary school so it was even a little new for her. It was pretty rainy when we arrived, but stuck it out anyway. This first building is an old temple.
Then we decided to walk to the...
This cathedral was beautiful from the outside, but even more spectacular from the inside.
Then Colin and I decided to climb the tower of the cathedral. It was quite a hike up there – i think the sign said 533 steps. It probably wasn’t a great idea to do this after we ate a...

Walter (Tom’s dad) and Marcus (Tom’s brother) took us to another city called Koln. (The weather was great so we must have eaten all our food!!) This city has about 1 million people and has a very old and famous cathedral. We walked around the Christmas Market, ate lunch, and then went inside the...
Blog: Random Germany photos
One afternoon Tom and Svenya invited a few of their friends over for cookies and gluwein. Svenya had made tons of christmas cookies and even had a few store bought traditional ones. Since I (Andre’a) absolutely LOVE cookies, i decided to try them all. Why not?!?! It is Christmas time and I...
After meeting up with Tom for lunch and eating some authentic Germany food, we headed to the Christmas Market. All of the larger towns in Germany have a Christmas Market. They are set up for Advent – which is about 4 weeks before Christmas. (And on a quick random side note… Germany has the most...
Düsseldorf is the city we flew into and where Tom works. It has around 600,000 people living there and is quite a fun place to see. Svenja took us one day to check out the town. Our first stop was the TV tower. We went to the top and Svenja gave...
These first three pictures are from a town called Willich. This is the town where Tom grew up and where his parents live. We took a stroll around the town and found these beautiful doors.
These next pictures are from a really cool old factory we went to visit. It was quite a rainy day and...
