It is Christmas Market time again here in Germany! Today we ventured out in the snow to visit Kaiserslautern's annual Christkindmarkt. By far one of the smaller Markets we've been to, it certainly wasn't lacking in all of the Christmas Market necessities; namely rides, gluhwein, dampfknudeln and hats.Joseph and Ella enjoyed this small ferris wheel, and were positive that they could convince me to ride it with them. Mommy: 1 Small Children: 0
And here's Will with his two favourite market items: chocolate crepes and gluhwein cups! He has a whole collection of the mugs on top of our kitchen cabinets, but this is the first with a picture on the inside. He's very, ridiculously excited about it.
Like I said, it was snowing and cold, so we all bundled up in our warm winter clothes. Joseph and Ella love their coats and hats and gloves, so this is easier than you'd expect. You can't see, but Joseph is incapable of keeping track of gloves, so the ones he wore today were not matched - one was teal, one was brown. To be honest, Ella can't keep track of these things either, but she's bad with hats - that's why she's wearing last years' set rather than the new Hello Kitty stuff I bought her a week ago.We're all home now, and our tummies are full of home made pasties, which were awesome, and I'll post the tutorial for those in a little bit for my friends. We're hoping to hit two more 'big' Christmas Markets this year - Deidesheim and a super cool one that is inside a cave - and we'll post pictures from those when we're done :)
