Christkindlmarket Chicago

An afternoon (or two) at the the Chirstkindlmarket in Chicago has been a tradition for us since it started in 1996. Despite the rain/snow, we headed down on the train for a nice afternoon (with few crowds due to the weather). We had Glühwein, bratwurst, potato pancakes, chocolate covered marshmallows and strawberries, and cinnamon almonds. And as they do every year, the kids got to pick out an ornament each. It's always so fun to see what they choose -- and this year, H selected a bell, and C a pine cone with a Santa face on it.
