cheesy taste test and weihnachtsmarkt

 The choices: 7 year sharp, 5 year sharp, and an extra sharp (of unknown vintage).  The winner: 7 years!

 Orange pomander craft at the school festival.

 Violin concert at the school festival.

One of the classrooms set up for kids to choose a gift for a loved one.  The whole festival was very well done, and well attended, too, considering the impending winter storm.  We had a lovely time, and wish I could've stayed longer.  I met a wheelwright, and I just found out yesterday what a wheelwright does!

We could only stay a few hours, as Elise had to be at ballet practice by midafternoon.  That rehearsal went well, and now the blizzard can snow us in, as we have nowhere else to be!
