Sinterklaas and beginning of holidays

Books were had all around, that's tradition, right? We'd do the chocolate letter too, but the kids aged 3-12 get one at church on Christmas day already. A book too, but that's irrelevant. ;)
 Handmade gifts were also shared. Lots of effort put into this!
 And board games are great, especially to enjoy over a holiday break when there is time!
 Catapult for Matthew! (I didn't approve that one!)
 Trying out the games.
 We came up with a new way to hang up Christmas cards -- since we repainted the walls we removed the screws and other things we'd hung strings on in previous years.
 A walk on the golf course (to work off some holiday food).
 More game playing.
 And book reading!

Nice to see the kids so intently playing Othello, and I think catapults are the best - especially in someone else's house. :O I understand they were planning to make castles with the kapla blocks and then use the catapult to break down the defenses. Sounds like fun. :)

I was hoping to see a picture of the chair and the puppet set up but I guess that will have to wait till we can see them in person.
I love your card tree, btw.
