Well, Sinterklaas has come and gone, just like Lorelei's birthday and most of the past year is sometimes seems.... Time flies when you're having fun I guess..... Anyway, this was Lorelei's second Sinterklaas and of course she is in much better shape than last year (although she was at the peak of a cold on "pakjesavond" (gift evening, the evening of December 5th, when we celebrate Sinterklaas). Tobias was way excited, but yet he took a (teeny tiny) bit of time to help his sister unwrap her gifts, since she cannot quite do that by herself yet. Sinterklaas brings his gifts in bags and Tobias had the task of getting gifts from the bag, reading who's name is on it and then giving it to that person (and, waiting until that person has unwrapped it before getting the next one, and that was hard! :-)). He was so sweet though, as you can see in this picture. Of course Tobias got the most gifts, but Lorelei got quite a few too. She got two books (one of which laying on the floor in front of her), a ball, a very cute scarf, hat, mittens combo, and of course some sweets!
One of the books makes a sound. It's a Dutch version of "five little ducks went out one day" and if you push the button you hear "Quack quack!" and it is quite loud. Of course Lorelei went for the button right away and her startled face was so funny...... :-)
