German Christmas

Today we traveled to Kutztown University to attend the German Christmas Festival.  It was neat to see all the different traditions the German's follow.

The following is a recipe for a similar to gingerbread cookie recipe.  The cookies were yummy so we will need to try it at home!

A trip around one of the farms on Kutztown campus


Feeding the animals...




Craft time!



(The ladies said Morgan has the best decorated cookie so far for the day!)


While we were drawing with an old fashion ink pen...




Belsnickel came into the school house! Gulp!  Belsnickel comes to children sometime before Christmas, wearing tattered old clothing and raggedy fur.  Belsnickel carries a switch to frighten children and candy to reward them for good behavior...



Time for a quick tractor-train ride!

Where else would you see a pet (kinda trained) pig?!

Fun times!
