Happy Sinterklaas!

In honor of my sweet Dutch friend, Jadie -- whose main blog can be found here -- our family celebrates Sinterklaas.

The history and traditions of Sinterklaas are varied, but we followed some of the traditions in a link sent to us by my friend, as well as some that she shared from her family.

I hope that our celebration of this tradition will grow with our family. It's always fun to share in the customs of other cultures.

And since our family is already made up of two cultures -- similar but not the same -- it's not hard to add in another day of fun!
