kitchen table with our mini Christmas tree in the background, and our new cookie stand from Katie (thank you!)
since we don't have a fire place our stockings are hanging from the china cabinet--yes, the Moe cat has his own stocking :-)--also thanks for all of the great Christmas cards!
our Christmas lights--they don't photograph well, but we like them!
our Christmsas tree
bark reindeer that we found at one of the Christmas markets inVienna (and our snowflake lights in the window)
our advent calendar--all opened except for the 24th (thanks, Mom and Dad!)
David inside St. Stephan's Dom. The church is beautiful, but difficult to photograph from the outside because it is so tall and we were too close. Reminded us a little bit of the Duomo in Florence, though.

Art History Museum--it was closed on Monday, the day we were going to go. But the Christmas market in front was great and we were able to go to the Natural History Museum, housed in a building that is the mirror image of this, across the Platz.
Christy in front of the Natural History Museum. This Museum hasn't changed much since the 1800's---rows and rows of stuffed animals and collections of gems, meteorites, and other rocks. But it was interesting because of that, too.
Mammoth tusks--2 1/2 times as tall as Christy?
guillotine that killed Marie Antoinette (in the Natural History Museum)
