Today was our annual family Oktoberfest celebration. We had some old favorites (homemade pretzels, German beer and cheese fondue served with brats, pretzels, and pickles, sauerkraut, and Black Forest Cherry Torte for dessert), and some new items (bratwurst and homemade German potato salad), on our menu.

This is always a fun day. The children really look forward to making the pretzels, and I love the chance to break out our polka CD so we can sing and dance! Prost!
