FiLLinG the WOoDeN ShOes.....

ThE LiTtLe WoodEn shoes were set out last night in hopes that they would be filled.....And to our Delight this morning we found that they had!!  This is such a fun little tradition that I try and do every year with my girls to teach them about their ancestry.  My side of the family is from Dutch Descent and so I have tried to keep a Dutch tradition going with my children of putting out wooden shoes to be filled by Sinter Klaas!

Each Dec 5th Dutch Tradition is that you would set out your shoes and leave some Hay for the Horse and hope that Sinter Klaas would leave you a treat! (We Set out Carrots for our offering)

And here are the little shoes filled with surprises in the morning!

This is such a fun little tradition that my girls look forward to each year!

If you would like to know more about this tradition read my post from last year here
