Visiting Sinterklas

We learned last year that when visiting Sinterklas that it was very important for the children to be dress up like Zwarte (black) Pete. This year I picked up some outfits for the girls that were really in-expensive that they could wear to all the little Sinterklas activities. I couldn't find anything for Kaitlyn though. She is too tall. Although all the other kids her age will be wearing out-fits and she is still young enough to be celebrating this activity, she is as tall as kids 2 years older then her.

So to have something for Kaitlyn to wear we did our best to put some sort of outfit together and make it up as we went. I bought some black hair for her but in the end she wouldn't wear it because daddy laughed at it and thought it was funny. Brianna was more then willing to wear the black hair and add it to her outfit.

First are pictures of the day when I brought home the new Zwarte Pete clothing. The girls all wanted to try it on they thought it was cool. Kaitlyn liked her black hair then.



Brooke is much to busy with her activity to let mom take a picture of her.



The day has come for us to go see Sinterklas. The girls have gotten there outfits perfected and I think they look great! It was a really fun program that went on and was a lot more intertaining then waiting in line to sit on Santa's lap. I must say I was impress. -- Brooke however wasn't so much impress. She kept sneaking off. They had punch in the back and she kept going to get a new cup of it. I was able to a few pictures of my sneaking child.



Here are a few pictures of the show. They had about 350 kids in the room that they were doing this show for.


At the end of the show Sinterklas comes. All the kids are so excited when he comes in. I saw him coming in the back door so I ran back and grab some pictures away from "most" of the crowd.



It is hard to show the true fun of what happens in a photo so I took a short film. It is a bit noisy but shows all the fun they were truely having. You can see the Zwarte (black) Pete's up on the stage and running around everywhere. It is just so weird. I still think I like Santa Clauses Elves better. At least it seems less prejustice
