Nicole, I love your blog and had to comment on this post. My husband is Dutch and we live in Texas. We celebrate Sinterklaas (St. Nicholas) every year on December 5 with our children. We do it very much the same way describe a few comments up by Josee .It is actually my favorite time of year. I love listening to the children singing the songs in Dutch. We have made such precious memories that I will know we will treasure forever. I love the wooden St Nicholas with the staff and miter you have in one of the pictures and was wondering where you might have gotten that? I would love to add something like that to my collection.

That looks like it would be a fun book to have. I enjoy your blog! :)
