bed time

The floor of the lounge was not quite what I had in mind!

Sinterklaas visits school

The nervous boys, waiting for Sinterklaas to arrive!

 There he is!

 With the Pepernoten Piet of course!

 Dylan proudly showing off the Zwarte Piet hat he made himself.

Sinterklaas also visited the creche but seeing the man in his classroom was a bit too much for Travis. He sat under the table and ate pepernoten until the Sint and the Pieten left. No photos...

And that was that! I am quite pleased it's over. It's heaps of fun, but 3 weeks of nervous and excited boys is exhausting.

bags full of presents

We celebrated Pakjesavond at Sander and Wendy's this year, had loads of fun, ate excellent chilli, drank wine with great company and of course, got very spoilt! What's not to like about Sinterklaas?

Can anyone see the Pieten?

 The first bag...

 and the first present is for... Dylan!

 Is there one for me, Sander?

 Ja, ja, jaaaaa!

 What else is in there? Is it empty? Not yet I hope!

 The unpacking frenzy continues.

Time to play, Thanks Sinterklaas!
