Saint Nicholas Day Recap

Happy Saint Nicholas day. I hope your day was filled with  love, joy, and wonder.
It was a misty and magical morning. We started our day with a warm fire, a lit tree of twinkling lights, wonder, and handmade goodness.
Panda received a set of peg people vikings and a dragon boat made out of a shampoo bottle I scavenged liberated from the recycling bin.
 And Badger received his ornament to add to our family set on the tree.
The boys also received matching pairs of happy Jingling ankle bells
After a yummy breakfast of sticky cinnamon rolls and pancakes it was off for our annual visit to a local historical farm.
There was a sweet goat that really wanted Panda to feed him.
There were also chickens, sheep, and a bashful cow, but it was the goat that followed us everywhere.
 
Last of all we ended our visit with our version of a "Mall Santa photo" with Saint Nicholas. It was a full beautiful day. I know my boys wont remember these days, but this early year work sets the tone for the future, and I do hope their futures will be filled with wonder, joy, and light.
Good night, and Shine on!

    1. Thank you. I will be posting how I made the boat soon. It's pretty straightforward, but maybe a tip or trick might help. Please let me know how the littles like them. Shine.
