Laterne, Laterne

Emily is getting more and more confident on her feet, but we are still in the phase where there are a lot of falls (and resulting head injuries due to our condo that completely lacks soft floor surfaces). Emily is getting tired of hearing Rule #1: Protect the Noggin' (which I created when Quinn started walking).
Here, I think Emily looks like she is dancing...
The 11th of November is St. Martin's day (Martinstag) and was the day of his entombment. Kindergarten children celebrate and reenact his funeral procession his day with stories and songs of his life (and the famous cloak story) as well as a latern procession.
There were at least 50 kids from Quinn's Kindergarten (and the daycare downstairs) and easily that many parents (if not twice as many). Quinn decorated his lantern.

Eva even helped out with the design by burning a hole in the lantern while trying to light the candle and stabilizing it. For as much fire that these kids were holding, there were no reports of fires in the area.
