Sinterklaas!!!

So as some of you may know Phillip's biological father is from the Netherlands. We have loved sharing the Dutch traditions, especially Sinterklaas. On December 5th we leave our wooden shoes out and Sinterklaas leaves little presents and treats. Since we were down here in Arizona and weren't really prepared, I figured we weren't doing it. Little did I know that my darling husband had a plan up his sleeve.

When I woke up I found a new pair of shoes stuffed with M&M's and the new Taylor Swift c.d. But they weren't just any shoes...they were bowling shoes! And of course there was a card to accompany this surprise. It said:

"You are invited to a royal 'ball' on the eighth of December, in the year of our Lord two thousand and seven at eight o'clock. As my princess and invited guest, you must wear your magical princess slippers in order to attend this ball. Remember that unlike fairytales, your magic does not end at midnight, but lasts as long as you believe."

Okay, can I say that I just love this man!
