Christmastime is here....

The Christkindl Market...a new tradition!

On the way back from the market we planned to take the Santa train like we did last year. Let's just say it didn't go quite as planned! We waited for 20 minutes and when the train arrived it was exciting and we saw Santa and got candy canes...then the train stopped and everyone had to get off because of a possible fire...then we waited for shuttles, got crying pictures of kids and Santa (see the Vander Griend family blog) and boarded the shuttles with cranky kids covered in candy canes, then on another train and a short walk home! Maybe that is a tradition that will end this year! ;)
A shot before the chaos.

We had a Christmas festival at our church which was very fun and they even had camel rides!

and donkeys...

it was a fun time!

Okay...I just need to say that we tried to go to the Kringlemarket and had to leave. We were stupid to go with Edie. She was SO cold--we ended up getting the first ornament we saw and eating at Corner Bakery. :) Love, love, love every pic of Milo in his little cardigans and bow tie.
