Sinterklaas 2019
So about half a year ago now....we celebrated Sinterklaas. Almost everybody made a gift for somebody. So that was neat.
The snacks and treats were great (maybe somebody liked them better than a book and homemade presents, who know?)
A punny shirt
police pants (to match the birthday vest)
quilt and doll dress
another quilt and doll shirt...all these were made by Melanie...she was stressing out about getting it all done in time!!
The obligatory book...which is more challenging each year to find for everyone!
The shuffle-board. Nathan spent many hours on this!
Nice and smooth, the pucks slide across so nicely!
Daniel posing in his, now complete, outfit.
He has a reflective strip down the pant leg as well, which matches the vest.
Jennifer made a necklace for me.
Matthew made a box for my salt (so I didn't have to stare at salt bags all winter long)
The girls dressed up their dolls in their new clothes.
Evelyn made me a bouquet or roses that won't wilt. Melanie had to help her, as her first effort was not going as planned, so together they got the job done, with a different design.
Definitely have to try out that shuffleboard!
New books have to be enjoyed.
And we have snow! This is not normal for early December, so we certainly enjoyed it~
It was dep enough to go sliding
So the kids made a run along the side of the driveway like they did last year.
And the ice is about ready for skating!!
Testing his creation, or rather, practicing and honing his skill!

Melanie's sewing skills and Nathan's woodworking skills are both very impressive! Good for them.
Wow you're kids are skilled.
How did he make the pucks?
They were challenging!! Lots of special details to figure out but mostly the trick was to use a hole saw on the drill press. But he first had to remove the center part of the hole saw bit so it didn't cut a divit in the middle of each puck.
