Every year, the Saturday before the 6th of December, Sinterklass and Zwarte Piet come to visit the Dutch store and when Amanda was a little girl her family would go up to Bellflower and see him and it is a great tradition we have carried on with James and Piper.
This year Oma & Opa sent cute little Piet outfits for James and Piper to wear and they were very excited to do so.
James is a pro at meeting Sinterklass (whom, I will admit, is not as friendly looking a fellow as Santa)
but Piper wasn't so sure about the whole thing.
Here's the best shot we got of both of them...
Either way, it's a great family tradition that will be carried on for years to come :0)
We got to meet "the Man" (or more appropriatly, "The Mouse"). It was the fulfillment of a life long dream for Mr. James - Piper didn't quite know what to make of him. 
James' favorite ride was Autotopia - he was a very crazy driver but he did try very hard - look at the focus on his cute little face. It was a crazy ride but SO MUCH fun!! 
Piper's favorite was the Rockets - we went on it 4 times in one day! "When she's up she's up - and when she's down she's down" - she was full of smiles and laughs when we were flying and as it came to an end she would burst into tears.
We rode on the Monorail - in the cone! It was a first for all of us. It's nice to know even as we all get older there will be many more "firsts" to come. James and Piper were facinated by seeing all of the "magic" Disney had to offer - and what a beautiful sunset.
We celebrated James' birthday at the Rainforest Cafe and James got a HUGE volcano sunday and a fun song too.
It was a great day! Look how far he's come in just 4 short years...
