... spy the critical element in this equation? leffe + radieuze = een blije Sint

whew - the kids passed again .... and were rewarded with an XL speculoos cookie, plus choco letters - lekker:)

later that night, as we listened to Sinterklas liedjes (songs), played games, and sang loudly (of course, so the Sint can hear us), there came a loud knock on the door .... bang, bang, bang. But when we opened the door, only a sack of cadeaus was to be found ---- and in it, a marble game for Thijs ..... a stuffed horse and horse-drawing book for Phoebe .... and a knitting set for Alex.
But again, mommy's desire to be stuffed in the sack and shipped back to Spain (w scope, binoculars, bird books) went unfulfilled. Guess I'll have to behave really, REALLY badly in 2009:)
