Saint Martin's Day



































































Here are some pictures from Saint Martin's Day on November 1. Xavier made his own lantern at the kindergarten and we lit a candle in it and went with all the kids from at least 2 kindergartens on an evening walk and then went to a community center to learn about the holiday. Afterwards we walked to the local church and watched a sketch about the holiday outside. Xavier was really tired though and only wanted to sit in the pram. So I held the lantern for him. Julien loved playing with the lantern. I think he enjoyed the lantern walk more than Xavier did. Then we had some lovely duck shaped cookies and some hot punch. It was really nice to experience this holiday with the neighborhood.
