Lantern Party

Levi's kindergarten had a "lantern" party. He and his classmates helped make lanterns, then once the sun set Monday evening they lit their lanterns (with real candles) and they carried them around the garden outside while they sang songs.
(This would never happen in the States, as it is a total fire hazard letting 3 year olds carry real fire!)

It was a celebration honoring St. Martin. I don't know what he really did and everyone I asked didn't seem to know either, still the kids had fun showing off their creations. Afterwards, there was punch (one kind for the kids and one for the parents...with a little zing if you know what I mean!) and pretzels!
