I am a bit behind on my post. We have had a very busy first week of Decemeber. Decemeber 1st was katie's birthday party so we have been very busy with that. This past weekend we went to my in laws to celebrate SinterKlaas which is the dutch version of santa with all the gifts. He comes to the netherlands in the middle of november and stay until his birthday on the 6th of December. On the 5th he comes with the zwarte petes and leaves gifts for the children. I have some collective photos from the last 4 weeks of SinterKlaas merryment!
Sinterklaas comes via boat from spain to the netherlands. The Zwarte petes come before hand to make sure that everything is ready for his arrival!
Finn was a bit worried this year because in the netherlands you do not get coal if you are bad but you get put in a sack and taken back to spain!
He had been talking about it for weeks worried that he would be put in a sac.
The boat with the presents came but somehow caught on fire!....This was very upsetting for a 3 year old finn!
In the end the firetrucks a came and saved the day!....with out Sinterklaas finding out!
This was the boat that caught on fire.
At last The Sint got off the boat to get on his horse and walk through the town
