Sinterklaas!

Sinterklaas arrived in Amsterdam, coming all the way from Spain two weeks ago.  Over 3 weeks, he and Zwarte Piet leave little toys and goodies in the wooden shoes of good little boys and girls all over the Netherlands (and he makes special trips for a few Dutch children outside the country, too!)  His big day is next weekend, when we will be traveling to Holland, and hopefully we will get to see him in person, and find out what's in that big bag of his!

Here are some pictures of our little Dutch girl, and her shoes... from the last couple weeks.
