A preview of Christmas: A visit from St. Nicholas


Today is St. Nicholas Day. Before she went to bed last night, we told Lexi to leave her shoes out near the door to see if St. Nicholas would leave her anything when he came in the night.

Sure enough, he came and left her some chocolate in the shape of himself! Lexi discovered it this morning and saw it in her shoe and was delighted. She knew it was a treat for her, and you could see the delight on her face. We were actually a bit surprised that she got the concept of receiving a gift! What fun we will have on Christmas!
