St. Nicholas' Day

Today is the feast day of St. Nicholas!  We had a very special morning- Daddy took the kids to see the Alabama Symphony's winter wonderland concert with a special ballerina and cirque de soliel performer.  Marc said it was AMAZING!

Then the children went to art class where Julia drew the most beautiful angel and crucifix.  I'll post those later.  Then we had lunch and came home to find that the slippers the children had left out that morning had been filled by St. Nicholas with gold coins and they each got a book!  :)

Memaw gave each child three St. Nicholas statues from her huge collection last Christmas so we put them here on the mantle where he visits.   :)

Charlie didn't care about the gifts- he just wanted to play with his basketball-

We are going to watch the video and read the books on St. Nicholas' life today.  Fun, fun!  (P.S. Marc said, "these coins came from Rite Aid and these books came from 2nd and Charles- I don't think St. Nicholas did this"- the gig is up!)

Precious, special day. As are most of them.
God bless us, every one!
