The night before . . .
St. Nick gave the girls cookies shaped like hens and the boys roosters and there was a barn with a T on it for Tate. The cookies represent our year of being involved in 4H, gardening and learning how to use the resources God gives us wisely.
Elisabeth is writing everything down in her journal.
This box was left outside by the van in the driveway. We do not know who dropped it off.
It's a Christmas tree!
What a surprise!
This is my (CRT) Christmas mug that I have had since college.
Watching Christmas videos on YouTube . . . this may be a new holiday tradition.
Obadiah kept bringing me unwrapped chocolates . . . he was unwrapping everything!
. . . the remains of delicious goodness.

I'd like further details regarding this tradition. I'm copying a pic of the cookies to pass on to some of our 4-H leaders.
Very cool.
Saint Nicholas Day is originally a dutch holiday. I have friends who observed it when their kids were younger. They emphasized the fact that St. Nick was a christian who gave to others in secret. They would make these cookies and shape them into objects that represented the year that a child had (for example Grace had a violin the year she started taking lessons).
