Following the Dutch tradition, my family waits for Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet to come to my parents house on December 5th... or whatever evening works best for all involved ;). This year it was December 10. The day was filled with great company, good food, and a nice visit from St. Nick himself.
 |
| The first thing James said when he saw Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet come down was, "I don't know about this, mom!" He was leery to sit on St. Nick's lap, but became more comfortable when he saw the bag full of gifts for him. |
 |
Lucas, even with presents in hand, would not be content. Opa even blew his cover to help Lucas not be scared... but to no avail.
|
Peter did not sit for long. He wouldn't even look at the gift he was given. Poor kid. What we do to them in the name of tradition, eh?
 |
| In the role of Sinterklaas... my dad; and in the role of Zwarte Piet... my mom. No bag or switches for the naughty boys and girls... I guess they weren't so bad this year :) |
