As excited as we are to go home I was a bit sad to miss out on the coziness and charm of Bern Christmas. The Swiss do a wonderful job with the lights, decorations and Christmas markets! I love all of fresh greenery and white lights. Last weekend we spent Saturday morning with our friends Nick and Kima at the Basel Christmas market. We didn’t buy a thing other than lunch but we enjoyed visiting and eating lunch at the market.

Crepes and Waffles was the name of a restaurant where we met Nick and Kima for ice cream many a Sunday afternoon…fun to see a Swiss version! Fun memories.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A couple of days ago Seth was working in a nearby town, Murten. The boys and I drove and met up with him to check out the Christmas market there.  It was much smaller than the Basel market but the setting was beautiful.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When given a choice of riding a pony or riding this piece of plastic Jackson will all conviction picked the plane. He can’t say his daddy never offered a pony ride!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We still hope to do a quick walk through of the Bern market but time is tight!
