Saint Nicholas Feast Day is now officially a tradition as we celebrated with our good friends for the third year in a row. 
Our favorite activity is making marzipan fruits. (Please note that the finished product of our 5 and 3 year olds did not look like the pictures at the link, but they were priceless.)
We ate Bishop’s hat mini pizzas,
and found gold coins in our shoes.
After eating, creating, and playing, it was time to settle down for St. Nicholas stories, coloring, and games. (Lots of fun stuff available at the St. Nicholas Center For Kids.)
We’ll be continuing this tradition in the years to come!
