Sinterklaas 2009 in Norwich

Hey there again-none in ages and now 2 in a row you may well think, that's just so we are all up to date before Oma comes again and the year is over :)
This one is about Sinterklaas!!! It was great this year, I first saw him on the computer and then in real when he had a little time to visit the Dutch children (40) here in Norwich-I liked seeing him and put my best Piet suit on and asked Mama to paint my face because I love it painted and it was a party after all! I gave Sinterklaas a hand and the small lady Piet too, but the tall man Piet was just a bit too scary for me. i was given a lovely fairy puzzle and a bag with sweets-yum!! i also put my shoe out twice and got nice pressies. Had to put it by the backdoor now because the chimneys are covered over and only have holes in leading to the burenr and heater, so Zwarte Piet wouldn't be able to get through. I also put a carrot and water for Americo the horse. Sint wrote me that he really liked to have the water;) At school I got to tell all the other children in teh class and Miss Crosby all about Sinterklaas with my picture book and Mama had given Miss a bag of Sinterklaas sweeties to share out and let everyone taste them. Miss told Mama she learned a lot and that I did a good job :) Then the next day it was 5 December and Sinterklaas himself-no less!- called up to say that Piet had put a bag out at the back with presents for us! Mama said she thought she saw something moving on a roof and that was true-it was Piet!! it was a very heavy bag and we all got lots of nice presents and rhymes. I got a mouse with a tummy ache because he had make up pencils in his tummy-no wonder! Mama got mini waterproof trousers my doll is wearing now and Papa got a very beautiful meditation cushion which was a bit too hard, but it had a diary in-no wonder...! A great evening had by all! THANK YOU SINTERKLAAAAAASJE! Love, Freija XX
