What fun for all ,‘Sinterklaas’ is back.For most people in the world an on none figure but for the Dutch and Belgium kids it means a lot of fun and excitement!!Times of presents,chocolate milk, poems ,fun and joy.And do my kids don’t believe in ‘Sinterklaas’ anymore it still is a very special time of the year.We’ve unpacked the ‘Sinterklaas’ box with all the things to give the living room a ‘Sinterklaas’ make-over!
The wall cabinet in the kitchen is filled with my collection of ‘Sinterklaas’ cups ,plates and lots of more stuff.
And of course the ‘Sinterklaas’books.The first one is an old story but a new book, the second you could call brocante because it’s an old one it’s falling apart as well!
Ready for some chocolate milk!
I’ve copied some pictures from a book on transfer paper and then made these ‘Sinterklaas’cones.There’s a little white bag in it for some candy and some tulle fabric for fun completed it with a stamped label and a nice ribbon.
A real tradition in our family,baking ‘speculaas’’ with freshly made almond paste If you’re ever in Alkmaar and in need of some baking stuff there’s a mill called’’het roode hert that sells delicious ecological flour, herbs,bread and lots more.
As you can see we’re ready for some baking,!
Even Jackie is ready, just have to wait ‘til December the fifth!!
Thanks for reading my blog and hope to see you again!
Greetings, ANITA and JACKIE.
