Hi!
The red balloon Mauro is holding was given to him by a Piet. The whole story this year at the Sinterklaasjournaal is about the red balloons and he was so proud to get one!! Unfortunately it got loose from the thread when we were watching the Sinterklaas show at the community center... he was SO sad!!

Everything normal again, everything settled... cold weather as usual and work as busy as usual, lol! My friend Petrina is now in Holland and even though I don't get to see her every day like on Aruba, we will see eachother again on Wednesday, I am looking forward to that!
Two weeks ago St. Nicholas arrived in Holland so our days are filled with st. Nicholas candies, arrivals, shoes near the chimney waiting to be filled with gifts etc. With 2 little boys in the house (who still believe in St. Nicholas and his helpers).... it's a fun time! Today we went to the town of Veenendaal to run some errands and of course we met some Zwarte Pieten in the streets with their bags full of candy. Even the youngest now knows exactly how to put his hands up so that Piet can fill it up! I have to make a picture of his little hands tomorrow! Yes, tomorrow St. Nicholas will come to Andy's company. Oh no, not in his office this time because this year it turned out too small for the amount of children all the people that work there have. This year they moved 'out' and St. Nicholas is now coming to a different location in Amsterdam. Every child gets a gift (paid for by the company) and we have the music (accordeon players) and coffee, lemonade, cookies and candy... Usually it's one of the highlights of the year for our kids (even when the now 17 year old was a lot younger!).
Last Saturday St. Nicholas arrived at the village where the grandparents live... here are some pictures....

Ok and then it was also time to do a few layouts... I couldn't find all of my mojo yet but I started again and that's something! And I hope I will get inspired by all these great sales this Thanksgiving weekend!!

So tomorrow will be a Sinterklaas Sunday here (instead of most of you celebrating Thanksgiving this weekend). We will have the traditional gift night next weekend...will post more about that next week!
Take care!
