christmas market

First of all, thank you to many who wrote to share in our joy. :) We are blessed to have many loved ones who love us, care for us, and pray for us. I look forward to the day when we are all in heaven together! (And when there will be no pregnancy heartburn. Oy!)

And second, I heard from a few of you as well who struggle with the whole sharing thing on Facebook. Glad to know I'm not the only one!

For the record, I am not talking about people who share some pictures of kids or trips, some status updates, or links to a good article they read. That is why I am on Facebook to connect with others! Those are the things I enjoy. But you all know the types who share too much and about every detail, though. That's what I'm talking about. :)

Anyway, on to some Christmas Eve pictures...

We had wanted to go to to the Christmas market in Budapest for quite some time, but thanks to many things happening, we weren't able to go until Christmas Eve morning. It ended up being a great time to go as it wasn't super crowded!

Kevin's gulyás bread bowl, Seth's traditional Hungarian sausage, and Kate's bread thingy :)

The food booths were pretty looking and beautifully organized this year! Best yet!

Unfortunately, I started coming down with the flu as we got there. (And I ended up being sick for many days after that. It was nasty.) At one point I didn't know if I'd make it back home in one piece. Thankfully I did. But the only time I took out the camera was while we were sitting down to eat, hence only food pictures.

Every year Budapest seems to be working on improving the Christmas market, which is full of tourists. This year was another stellar year in their organization and even the presentation. It definitely gets better every year.
