Sinterklaas

We continued our tradition of Sinterklaas making a special visit from Amsterdam this year. Once it got dark on Friday night, the kids put their Dutch shoes out on the front step. And we anxiously awaited a knock as we finished up dinner...
  
Everyone was quite excited to go check out what Sinterklaas had left for them!
As you can tell there was some disappointment as pajamas were not given. But Sinterklaas keeps track of these things and when pajamas aren't needed, they aren't given. The kids each got a movie and everyone received a chocolate letter. And there were some other random Dutch treats: stroop wafels, kruidnoten, pepermunt ballen, and zachte schuimpjes. Got that? :) In other words, cookies, mints, and marshmallow-like candies. 
Our crazy holiday season has officially begun!
