Snow and Nicklaous Day

Snow!  Our first snowfall of the year came and went last Saturday.  The snow on the ground was really pretty and it lasted into Sunday and Monday.  When we toured apartments in October, we noted the hills next to our current apartment would be fun to sled down when it snows... and they are fun!  We watched children sled down the snowy hills all day Sunday.  Can't wait to get more snow!!




Nicklaous Day is a German tradition that happens every year on December 6th.  Children put their boots outside in the evening of December 5th and depending on whether they were good or bad that year, Nicklaous gives or doesn't give them sweets.  Tom and I continue this tradition for fun... and it looks like were were good this year...
