Yesterday, we attended the St. Martin's Day Celebration in downtown St. Paul.
At school, Annie has been learning songs for the occasion, and making her own lantern in art class (unfortunately, because she came home from school sick last week, she didn't get her lantern, so we picked up one for her to use there at the celebration).
At the celebration, we got to see some of the older students from her school perform traditional German songs and dances, we ate tasty breads and Annie was delighted to run into classmates and teachers.
Following the program, everyone headed outside with their lanterns for a procession led by a student pretending to be St. Martin--riding a beautiful white horse (Annie said seeing the white horse was her favorite part of the event). After the procession, we watched a skit about St. Martin and then we were ready to head off for a birthday dinner to celebrate Grandma Barb's birthday.
