St. Nicholas Day
I am a little behind on my posts, but i have to start catching up somewhere! These are pictures of St. Nicholas Day, it is a German tradition that my family has followed ever since I was little. We set out our shoes on the night of the sixth with a list to St. Nicholas telling him what we want for Christmas, in turn he leaves us candy and maybe a book or a movie, in Ledger's case some new pacifiers and a new blanket. It is a really fun tradition and I am glad my mom passed it on to us. This tradition is new to Nathan since we have been married, he likes it but does not really get it. He had to leave to go to a rodeo early the night we were supposed to set our shoes out, so he felt bad. Our plan was to just do it the next day since we knew Ledge wouldn't know the difference. The next morning I woke up and went down stairs, I saw my shoes setting on the counter full of candy and a few books and stuff. It was just mine though with a note written that said sorry I had to go, I did St. Nicholas Day for you, but I still don't really get it. I thought it was so cute of him, but i did have to explain the holiday to him a little better. Then we set out our shoes as a family the next night.

I remember your mom coming to school and sharing those traditions you guys did in the sixth grade (Mrs. Hager and Mr. Godfrey's class). That is seriously so cool that you have those traditions, so fun!

Hey Meggan, we have never met (well not yet anyway) but I just wanted to say hello and let you know we had fun watching Nate rope here last night in Rapid City. He was so sweet talking about you and Ledger. Which by the way he is a total doll. Too cute!! I hope we can meet soon. I told Nate next year he needs to bring the whole family and stay with us so we can hang out.
BTW noticed you are thinking of going private. Please include us on your list! :)
