I am really enjoying of the holidays this year. The boys are getting into the spirit and have an unnatural attachment to "Jingle Bells". Yesterday, the 6th, was the Feast Day of St. Nicolas. At school, Drake and his classmates had their "shoes" filled with goodies. (Shoes being the paper ones they had colored the day before. Something about a health code violation to place treats in their actual shoes. :P ) In the evening, I took the boys to Bruno's European Cafe for good schnitzel and to meet St. Nicolas, all decked out in his traditional bishops' robes. I decided to have the boys eat first, since an unfed boy is a grumpy boy. While waiting for the food, Drake wanted to write a letter to St. Nicolas on his place mat. This is what he wanted to write:
Dear St. Nicolas,
I really like your dress.
Thank you.
Drake
The boys ate their adults size meals and made their way to the big man. Flynn was skittish, but Drake walked right up to him. They received chocolates, oranges, pfeffernusse, and coloring books. Most of the chocolate was gone before we returned home. And the boys bounced off the walls into the night.
