Traditions...

As the family grows up and gets older, we enjoy forming and reliving those annual traditions, especially around the preparation of Jesus' birth and the excitement of surprises from Sinterklaas. We headed out to the same tree farm we've been going to the last couple years, simply because that's what the children remember. Oh Christmas tree farm are now part of our tradition!

We went to the dutch store and visited Sinterklaas and enjoyed a ride in the carriage with him...


And decorated our tree while eating poffertjes and other yummy dutch treats!
