Weihnachtsmarkt

On Saturday, we went up to Lichtenburg again to go to their Medieval Weihnachtsmarkt. It was very very cool. :) And of course, gorgeous. How fun is it to go Christmas shopping outdoors at a castle in Germany? 

the minstrels

John did great- he was SO cute with his rosy little cheeks!

We had waffels- lebkuchen and schwam

Harry drinking his heisse schokolade

The kids got to make wooden angels with their friends

Jay in line for the baumkuchen

baumkuchen- rolled baked bread with crusty outside and toppings- we got zimnt and kakao

 We also went to the Christmas market in Landstuhl. This was the Sankt Andreas Markt and was also very fun. I ended up only buying Harry a pair of suspenders for his snow pants, but the food is really what these fests are all about! The weiss bratwursts are incredible!

John got "snuggled" when he got home. :)
