Sinterklaas is in the House!

Every year Sinterklaas leaves his home in Spain on a steamboat and makes his way to the Netherlands. With his Zwarte Pieten (black Peters) in tow he arrives in mid November and stays until his birthday on December 6th.

This year Evie and Papa went to the harbor to greet Sinterklaas when he arrived.
Evie wore her Zwarte Piet hat.

As did most of the children. Some even painted their faces black.
And Evie waved her little flag.
