St. Nicholas Day

St. Nicholas day was such a hit last year that the kids didn't need much encouragement to put their shoes out before they went to bed.  Lia put out two different shoes... isn't she silly?  If you look closely, David wrote a letter to Santa and left it in the fireplace. 

The next morning, December 6th, the kids were very excited to see what St. Nicholas left for them.  Here they are checking out their loot!

Lia loves the chocolate coins and they all love hearing the story about how St. Nicholas secretly dropped gold coins down the chimney of a poor family so the daughters could have dowries and marry.

St. Nicholas of Myra, Pray for us!
