We had plans for dinner and a stop at a Christmas market specializing in nativity scenes. Hyrum texted me about a cookie decorating event at work so we switched gears and decided to do both. The kids and I met him at his office and we enjoyed chocolates, gingerbread cookies and dinner, in that order.

After we had our fill of chicken nuggets and french fries--they were really good nuggets--we headed out. The "market" ended up being more of an exhibit in a small barn-like building. I was a little disappointed, but it ended up being a really great way to bring in the holidays. I'm glad we started with the Savior because that's where we'll end too. It was a really nice night out with our family.

Thanks for your heads-up on Charity's blog, I'm all caught up now! :-)
I really enjoy reading about foreigners' impressions on Germany! How long will you still stay here?
You can check out this link:http://www.kimapa.de/familienfreizeit-muenchen/indoorspielplatz-muenchen-umgebung/
It is about different indoor playgrounds in and around Munich; I haven't checked the prices though so I can't tell whether it's a good alternative to outdoor playgrounds. Maybe indoor swimming pools are a good alternative? http://www.muenchen.de/freizeit/mbaeder/hallenbaeder-uebersicht.html
I'd also suggest a visit to Stuttgart, where the first car has been invented (and where I live...). There is a really good museum. http://www.mercedes-benz.de/content/germany/mpc/mpc_germany_website/de/home_mpc/passengercars/home/world/discover/museum-information.html
And if you manage it, I think a visit to Berlin is great, too. There is so much history to see! The museum Checkpoint Charlie might be especially interesting to Americans (http://www.mauermuseum.de/index.php/en). There is also the museum about Eastern Germany which I think is good for kids (http://www.ddr-museum.de/en). The Jewish museum (https://www.jmberlin.de/en) is also really well made.
Thanks for your suggestions. We are only here for 3 1/2 more weeks. We're planning a trip to Nuremberg but probably won't make it Berlin or Stuttgart, though we would love to. So many neat things to see and not enough time to do it.
