St. Nick

I cannot ever remember putting out my shoes for St. Nick. (Perhaps this was a tweaked tradition when Grandpa Bill knocked on the door and left the bag of fruits and nuts...) This year, we began this tradition with the girls however. I was completely unaware until about 4pm though that we would be starting:) When I picked Riley up from school, she told me that they had left their gym shoes out for St. Nick to fill. And there meant....he had to do the same at home! Luckily I had a few things I had already gotten for stockings. Not exactly fruit and simple things like that, but the girls did not mind. They were both so excited when they got up and saw the things in their shoes. (Even Elfy couldn't miss out on the fun!) Later at school, Riley got to see what he left there and learn a little more about the tradition. (Mommy too when she brought home the little card that explained how it all began...)
