Our village held it's Christmas Market this past Saturday evening in the main square in front of Benjamin's kindergarten. It was really nice. Benjamin donned a Santa hat with his classmates and sang a few songs for the crowd. Then, St. Nicholas rode in on a large standing-sort of chariot style-tricycle pulled by a HUGE black dog. Following him were 6 more big dogs all pulling their own wagons full of presents. St. Nicholas then handed out a gift to every child there. What fun! And finally we visited the many craft, goodies, treat and food stalls... enjoying a pretzel, a crepe and a few bags of candied almonds. It was a special evening.
My adorable caroler!
Benjamin was in the back, that's what we get for arriving on time :)
Santa's ride.
The whole dog thing was pretty cool. Benjamin did ask where the reindeer were :)

I just love Bernese Mountain dogs!

Once we got back home, Benjamin opened his gift. He thought it was quite strange and pretty funny that St Nicholas thought an orange would be a good idea :) And he was excited to try the German sweets.
Liam slept through a large portion of it, but I know he'll be excited next year!
