Hannover's Weihnachtsmarkt


So the Christmas Market here started in November and it's been a big party ever since. It is huge!! It's open everyday, all day long!! And it's all over Hannover. They have booths set up everywhere, and all different kinds. Again my favorite booths are the crepe ones, DELICIOUS!! Everything is lit up with Christams lights and Christams decorations. It's so beautiful! I go almost everyday. It has definitely made being away from home for Christmas easier!!

My Birthday

Sorry this is late, but I've been so busy lately. My first birthday over seas was really fun. We just got a small group together and went to a steak house. It was definitely a lot different then the ones we have back home. Michael was, however, able to get a descent size steak, but my cheeseburger was not really what I consider a cheeseburger. It was a hamburger patty on top of a piece of garlic french toast topped with cheese. There was no top piece of toast for my cheeseburger so I wasn't able to eat it with my hands. But it was actually pretty good. We went for crepes afterwards at the Christmas market. Crepes are my favorite new thing here. They're so good!!! When we got home my friends surprised me with a real Christmas tree for my house. I loved it!!! It might be small, but it is perfect!! It was a fantastic birthday!
