Bella's 19th Birthday

We were so fortunate that Bella's first birthday to occur while she's away at college fell over Thanksgiving weekend. She was home and we got to celebrate with her in person that day. We did cake and presents first because our plans for the day went later into the evening. 

We ate dinner at Olive Garden and then ventured out into the chilly evening to enjoy the Carmel Christkindlmarkt. We were driving at 6:52pm when Bella officially turned 19, but this photo was snapped just a few minutes later. We now have a 19-year-old and Bella has one year left in her teens. 

It was so cold, but this place is so cute. It felt like we were in a Hallmark movie. 

Bella and Sam are a fun, cute couple. I enjoy watching them together.

This was a German-inspired event and they had some information displayed about Moravian stars. Hope Moravian was mentioned at the bottom, so we took a picture of it.
