Tomorrow night is St. Nicholas Day. It is a holiday and tradition that I have celebrated for years. It is the night where you put your shoe outside of your bedroom door. St. Nicholas comes in the night and fills it with a small gift (if you've been good), or a piece of coal (if you've been bad). If you get the coal, then you know you have 20 days more to get back onto the nice list to get your stocking and presents from Santa on Christmas morning. We reminded the kids of this this morning, and Sophie went right over to her shoe cubby and pulled them all out. She lined one of each shoe up and tried to decide what shoe to put out. It was a very difficult decision for her, which she has already changed. She settled on her snow boot, of all of them, and it is already sitting by her bedroom door. Peter followed suit, and his snow boot is also already in place. Sophie was frustrated because she put Max's shoes out (his running shoes and church shoes) and he wouldn't pick one!!! So we told her to pick for him, and she was ok with that.
