Sunday was Saint Nicholas Day so in preparation Saturday night we read a story about the real Saint Nicholas. Then I had Joshua put his shoes by the door so Saint Nicholas could leave him treats in his shoes (we thought Matthew should be part of the tradition too, so we put his shoes out as well). Of course all this preparation makes for one excited kid who ended up waking up early just to find what treats were left in his shoes. This year Joshua was thrilled to find that Saint Nicholas left him a Playmobil nativity set and some chocolate coins! Matthew received a Twilight Turtle for his room. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Twilight Turtle, it is a plush turtle with a hard plastic shell that displays all the stars on the ceiling and stays on for 45 min. acting like a night light of sorts when a child goes to bed. Joshua got one for his first Christmas and when I went to buy Matthew one when he was first born Joshua ended up taking it for his own because they had improved on it and the new one had LED lights in it making it much brighter than the original.

Thrilled with his new playmobil nativity set!
Matthew thought it was more fun to play with his shoes than see what Saint Nicholas had brought him!
A chocolate coin (maybe next year he can actually eat it)!
Matthew's own Twilight Turtle!
