SinterKlaas Came!

Friday night was fun. SinterKlaas arrived and the girls were so fun. We ate dinner and then I had them sing there songs about Sinterklaas. They have so many different songs that they sing about Sinterklaas. They are suppose to sing them really loud so that Sinterklaas can hear them and come. Here is a link that gives you a nice sample of a lot of the songs.

One of the girls favorite songs or maybe it is just the one they know the best says something like this:

Sinterklaas please enter with your helper
Because we’re all sitting in a nice manner

Maybe you have a little bit of time
Before you go to Spain again
Do drop by our place
And leave your horse outside
And we’re singing and we’re jumping and we are so happy
Since there are no naughty children present
And we’re singing and we’re jumping and we are so happy
Since there are no naughty children present

(This is what it looks like in Dutch just so you can see if you are interested otherwise just skip it.)
Sinterklaasje kom maar binnen met je knecht
Want we zitten allemaal even recht

Misschien heeft U nog even tijd
Voordat U weer naar Spanje rijdt

Kom dan ook even bij ons aan
En laat je paardje maar buiten staan.

En we zingen en we springen en we zijn zo blij
Want er zijn geen stoute kind’ren bij

En we zingen en we springen en we zijn zo blij
Want er zijn geen stoute kind’ren bij

The singing song part was fun because they are runing around in circles singing as loud as they can and then right in the middle of it, I simply said "did you hear that?"

Brianna of course says "yes" I heard the horse on the roof. Kaitlyn says she heard a big bang. And honestly it was perfectly silent and there was no noise but they had all sorts of noises in their heads.

So they ran up to the actict and found the Sinterklaas sack full of gifts and brought it down. They were so excited. They had even more stories about how they were right about the noise they had heard when they got down stairs. It is funny how much they believe.
