Sinterklaas

This is everyone.

All of the Poorts.

Every year we celebrate Sinterklaas

(Dutch Christmas...you know...because Jon is from there and all...).

This year we hosted it at our home.

It was so much fun.

We ate chicken enchiladas (VERY Dutch...not really).

We read our poems to one another and opened gifts.

We changed into jammies and played games.

We made gingerbread houses and filled our shoes with carrots (for Sinterklaas' horses) and placed them on the front porch.

We stayed up until 3:30 (yes...in the a.m.).

Slept for a few hours.

Woke up to candy-filled shoes and breakfast made by Jon.

Lunch by Uncle Oscar.

Spent the day in jammies and laziness.

It was bliss.

Auntie Tee gets the kids matching pjs every year.

This year was Phineas and Ferb for the boys and Tangled for the girls.

Chloe wants hers washed every day so that she can wear them every night.
