St. Nicholas, December 6th

Last year we adopted the old custom of having the kids leave their shoes out to be filled with treats.  We do this instead of doing stockings at Christmas and since they get toys and treats early the kids are very much in favor of the new tradition.  The kids were up bright and early, eager to pile out of their rooms and see what they found in and by their shoes.  I do know that a certain little boy did a sneak preview in the night, unable to wait to find out what he was getting.

 

The gummy worms were a big hit.  The new kids hesitated to bite into such a funny-looking things, but after that they ate them eagerly.
