December the 5th, St Nicholas

En op zaterdag is het dan eindelijk zover .... pakjesavond. Rond een uur of 4 komen opa en om en tante Eline, oom Peter en Iona, Jesse en Rinske. De laatste voorbereidingen worden achter de rug van de kinderen getroffen, filmpje opgezet voor wat afleiding..... en om 5 uur is de verrassing groot... Sinterklaas en 2 pieten staan zomaar ineens in de kamer!

And then there is Saturday... with th highlight of the St Nicholas celebration (and the big haul of presents ;-)). Around 4 p.m. the family arrives and the last preparations are done behind the back of the kids. We play a movie for the distraction and then there is the big surprise..... St Nicholas and 2 of his black Pete's are in our very own house!


Like it should be, the kids are spoiled with lots of presents. St Nicholas' visit was a big surprise and I think everybody was a bit intimidated. When the kids are sleeping we also have presents for the adults; what a lovely evening!

These are the included pictures for a better look:
