Sinterklaas






































We celebrated Sinterklaas yesterday with some Dutch friends. It was great fun. We started with some craft activities while we waiting for him to arrive. All the kids got some time with the "Sint" before they received a gift. I am not sure if Natalie still believes this is for real, she had questions about his beard being a little "off" and his shoes were the same as Dad's, is he married, does he have his own kids...? I told her to ask but when it was her turn the pressure of being in front of him was too much and no questions were asked. Thijs wanted nothing to do with him and hid as far away as possible behind a table. When he realized there were toys involved he came close enough to get his toy and ran back to his hiding spot. It was a good time!
