Happy St. Nick's day!

As a family of German heritage, we continue to celebrate this tradition, which pretty much is just another excuse to give the girls presents :)

"In Germany, Nikolas is ususually celebrated on a small scale. Many children put a boot outside the front door on the night of December 5 to December 6. St. Nicholas fills the boot with gifts and sweets and at the same time, checks up on the children to see if they have been good, polite and helpful last year".
Here are the girls opening their presents this morning!
Pardon Sidney's eyes (and her nuk still in place), we headed to the doctor after presents and turns out she still has an ear infection and maybe pink eye. Poor thing. She was a good sport this morning though.

Regan paitently waiting to open her presents: books, sticker books and a nativity scene!

St. Nick brought the girls a nativity scene; thank goodness because then I got a chance to set mine out too! Theirs is more exciting, it lights up and plays music!
