Today, Sinterklaas and seven (!) of his Zwarte Pieten visited Emma and Janne's school Op Dreef. It was truly the first time ever they RAN to school ...
I was asked to take pictures of Sinterklaas' visit in Janne's group. Besides the fact that I enjoy doing that, it offered me the rather unique opportunity to be there during the Sint's visit. It was great fun. The group had practiced a little play and a dance, which they performed splendidly. Janne even got to hold Sinterklaas' crosier. A huge honor indeed :-).
Both girls were very tired tonight and had no problem going to bed early. Saturday will be 'pakjesavond' (St. Nicolas' Eve) and then all will be over.
