Sinterklaas

We celebrated Sinterklaas with friends (another Dutch/American couple) in our home. When the girls are older we may need to do incorporate more of the Sinterklaas traditions, but for this year we found it gezellig to exchange gifts and eat Sinterklaas treats.

Elizabeth was very willing to assist her little sister with opening packages.

A, the 8-month son of our friends, enjoyed his first Sinterklaas celebration.

Sinterklaas even delivered chocolate letters from the HEMA! Thankfully Sinterklaas was sensitive to parental preference to not give a lot of chocolate to kids. Chocolate letters for only the adults!

That is very important to keep the Dutch tradition of Christmas while living in Israel. I like the picture of Elizabeth with her little back pack on.
