Sinterklaas in town

Last week Sinterklaas arrived from Spain in the Netherlands. I have seen it on tv. I wasn't sure if it was tv or for real. But I have received gifts in my shoe all week and watched the daily journals. I was so excited: there is a baby-Black Pete, and I love babies.

Today Sinterklaas arrives in my town. With his boat.

As you can see, I am thoroughly enjoying watching it from atop papa's shoulders. I sing the songs and I wave to Sinterklaas. Today I get real close up.

In the audience there are Pete's everywhere sharing pepernoten.
