Rob and I enjoyed seeing all of the neat handmade things for sale (ornaments, nutcrackers, nativities, scarves, hats, hairbrushes, etc, etc, lots of food and goodies, and lots and LOTS of beer and wine!!!) and eating some yummy Bratwurst and Currywurst. Charlotte had some Käse-Spätzle - like macaroni and cheese with little bits of ham in it. Charlotte loved going on the little rides even though it was soooooo cold out... that's why Toby isn't in these photos- he was there, but we kept him all bundled up in his snowsuit in the stroller. We went late in the afternoon and were so glad to be leaving as it got dark out and BUS loads of people were arriving! It was really a fun afternoon out though. :)

Michelstadt's Weihnachtsmarkt
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! All over Germany, each little town has it's own Christmas market and yesterday we went to Michelstadt to visit theirs because I had heard that it was a good one. :)

There were only two kiddie rides, and Charlotte went on both of them for a total of 5 rides. She LOVED the Christmas market!
