Nikolaus Tag

We did our German Christmas tradition ( a day late) on Thursday morning. I don't know if the kids or Jerry had more fun. Landon had been talking about traditions at preschool and told them about this tradition. On the 5th of December the kids clean their shoes and put them out on the doorstep and Santa fills them with nuts, fruit and treats. If your shoes or not clean or you haven't been good, you get a potato in your shoe. So we did a day late and I can't decide if Jerry or the kids had more fun. St Nick came and Jerry had Christmas music playing as he woke up the children before work. He really wanted to see their reaction. They were very happy and we had a fun day. We also got a fun Christmas package from the Robb's. They are so generous and take such good care of us. It contains gifts for the kids to open as needed throughout the month. Mimi remembers their ages and knows how difficult it is when you are nine months pregnant! Thanks so much Mimi and Poppy!
