Lustig Lustig....St. Niklaus war hier!

Our sweet friend Mary Grace came by to deliver some St. Niklaus goodies for Alaka'i'.  German tradition celebrates St. Niklaus Tag (St. Nick's day) on December 6, typically filling a shoe with chocolate or fruits. She brought him a few pieces of Kinder Schokolade - from Germany!  You made the day extra-special, Mary.  Thank you so much!  

And as a sidenote to Bit:
How about this from the Bohlmann/Schellhaas days.....
"Ich bin der gute Niklaus und komme gern in jedes Haus, wo brave Kinder wohnen.
In ihre Schuhe tu ich dann, Nuss, Apfelkuchen, Marzipan.
Ihr Bravsein zu belohnen"
(or something like that!)  
 

I staged this photo.  He already has the chocolate in his mouth, so I put the empty wrapper back in his shoe.


He's signing "thank you" to Mary.

All I have to say to this is,

"Ich weiss nicht was soll es bedueten, dass ich so traurig bin..."

Love the pics of A, as usual. What a sweet little man! Love to all of you.
