Sinter Klaas

Sinter Klaas Day is on December 5th. we gather as an Allart clan and celebrate Dutch Christmas. This year we invited our Thai friends Judy and Jensen. If you ever want Thai food you ought to go to Judy's restaurant. It is the best Thai food I have ever had.

We hear a presentation about Sinter Klaas and Swarte Pete, sing Dutch Songs, put out our shoes, and go to "sleep". It really is a time for giggles and whisperings. When the children "wake up", they find their shoes filled with goodies.
Arianna is a girl after my own heart. She was very excited about the madrin orange, but you'll notice what she decided to eat first.

Mary Jane had surgery for a torn tendon, Daniel is demonstrating is lively side, and we had a surprise visitor. All in all we had a wonderful evening.
