Grafenwöhr Christmas Market 2015

We started a tradition last year: getting a wreath for our door at the one-day-only Grafenwöhr Christmas market!

We knew the market was on Saturday December 5th, but no sign said what time. So we went at 9:30am and it wasn't open yet. No worries, we had other errands to run. We went again at 11:30am after our errands and it wasn't open yet. No worries, there's always after naps. We went again at 3:30pm and it was open! Yay! Third time's a charm :)

Passing over the river on the short walk to the main town square.

Horse-drawn carriage rides around the block - oh what fun!

Hoppin' and happenin' downtown Graf.

Fox & Jane in front of a huge Christmas tree and the old town hall.

Just because it's cute.

Not opened yet (from our first attempt).

We found the same vendor as last year and picked out a wreath for our front door.

Checking out the nativity.

We took away Jane's pacifier last week - about time, I know, she's 3.5... Hopefully her gap and crooked jaw will fix themselves... If we have more kids, I'm not using "fires." They're too hard to take away.

Gingerbread cookies. I've never had one! I must try one at the next market.

2nd carousel ride of the day, lucky ducks!

Live music - so festive!

Magical!

Camels and donkeys to remind us of the stable in Bethlehem.

Chris got a brat to cap off the day.

I had Chris take this picture of me'n'our wreath in front of this fantastic barn door, but all I can focus on is the bright yellow sign with one of my favorite German words on it: Ausfahrt, lol. It means exit. Ausfahrt freihalten! means "Keep the exit clear!"

Such a fun day at our small town's Christmas market! Can't wait until next year!
