St. Nicholas was here

Below: Lily's ornament: Because she is our little fairy, princess, ballerina

Every year St. Nicholas visits us on the night of Dec.5th. The kids leave out a shoe and he comes to give each of them a new ornament for the tree and a few other little goodies.

Well...St. Nicholas was just a few days late this year (as he waited for Lily's handmade ornament to arrive in the mail)- but the kids didn't know any different!:)

Lily was so excited as she picked out shoes for her and Eli to leave overnight and she was just as excited the next morning to find the ornaments, some chocolate, and a few new Christmas books!
