Happy St. Nicholas Day!

Well, our living situation is a bit different this year because we are living with a local family, but I decided we should still celebrate St. Nicholas Day. We didn't have our wooden shoes like last year, but we put out our flip flops. Ellie actually got new sandals as part of her St. Nick present. She also got a doll... she LOVES dolls... she holds them against her shoulder calling them "babu" which means baby here. She also pats them and says "Night, night"... Franklin's big gift was a hat because it is cold here... My big gift was a watch. Other than that we got some local candy, mango juice, and Ellie got some mango bars. Very exciting! :)
So, I really don't want to make a habit of posting pictures of myself right after I wake up in the morning, but I thought this picture was worth it because it shows Ellie holding her doll. Her doll is now called "Baby Nicki" after St. Nicholas Day.

Happy St. Nicholas Day!
