Last post about Sinterklaas :)))

Today is the birthday of Sinterklaas.
Kira is been jumping up and down and telling everyone that's it's Sinterklaas birthday.
She loves it so much..

But first back in time.

A big tradition is that from the moment Sinterklaas arrives in Holland is that you can put your shoe by the chimney, and when you have been sweet he will give you a little shoe gift or candy..
As a thank you we put a carrot, straw or sugar cube for the horse Americo in our shoe

Also a drawing for Sinterklaas of the Black pete's and your wish list
After putting your shoe, you sing a few songs and then go to bed and wait till morning to look if there will be something there ♥ ♥ ♥

I put it all on pic, how kids do that
 The drawing with wishlist on it!!

 Fold it and put it in your shoe

 Don't forget the carrot for the sweet horse

 And then singing songs VERY LOUD.. so they can hear it..
And all the neighbors.. hihi lol =)))))))))))))


 This is how it looks like when Kids are in bed 

And this when the get downstairs the next morning..
(A little craft jar was in there.. a boy and girls version...)



You can put your shoe every day,, but they are very busy, so not every day there will be something in there..
Sinterklaas also put a letter in there one time.. Kids loved that..

And he wrote only put your shoe in the weekend.. hihi

This morning Black Pete came all the way from the North of Holland and also some where in the middle to give the kids a little extra.




They where so very happy with them.. 
Thank you so much ( Pete Ingrid and Pete grandma Wil)!!!

Today on his birthday normally in the evening he will come and will leave a bag with presents somewhere..
But we are having a horror storm as they called it on the news.. Code Red.
So it was waiting if it wasn't to dangerous to bring the gifts.. and no it wasn't!!
Look at this

 After hearing a big noise at the windows, kids where jumping.. black pete's on the roof... yeah!!!!
And look a bag at the front door



They where so happy..
And if that wasn't enough, I got a message on my phone that a neighbor say a black pete leaving a bag of presents at the front door hanging..

All four of us got spoiled in that bag..
♥ * ♥ ...Thank you so much neighbor... ♥ *

Can you now understand why I LOVE this holiday???
It's the best holiday of the year.

And this year the kids really really really got spoiled!!!!
