This year my mother in law wanted to teach the kids about one of her ancestors
and the way they celebrate Christmas in the country they came from.
Taunya's Grandfather was Dutch!

Taunya's Grandfather was Dutch!
We learned all about Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet and the fun traditions they have in Holland.
We ate a traditional Dutch dinner and put carrots and straw in their wooden Dutch shoes.
They received special cookies and wafers.
Sinterklaas even made an appearance and delivered chocolate letters to everyone.
(Jim was a good sport)

A fun and new tradition has begun!
