Obviously a lot changes when you have kids. Pete and I used to love to entertain in New York and have friends over for games, to help drink Pete's home brew and socialize. We've lived in the Netherlands over a year now and we had yet to throw a proper party apart from one afternoon when Pete had a bunch of coworkers over to brew beer. That had to change!
Sinterklaas arrived once again on his steamboat from Spain and paraded through our neighborhood Saturday afternoon. It was the perfect opportunity to invite my toddler group over to play and catch the action together. Sint would be arriving the following day into Amsterdam, which is a much more elaborate and crowded event. Amstelveen's parade has more small town charm, which is perfect for this age group I think.
It was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday morning with friends. And our apartment was back in order by nap time! There is something to be said for morning parties!
