Sinterklaas

The 5th December is when traditionally Sinterklaas leaves presents for the children – a typically Dutch tradition.  We like to take part (in our own sweet way!!) and exchange small (sometimes silly) gifts, put up the Christmas decorations and have a nice meal - all in all, a family day.
We decided to give the girls their Christmas present (early, you might say), as it was the 5th (and I was fed up of keep moving it out the way)

Here they are with their new scratch post(s), which, as you can see is more like a piece of furniture.
Poppy, is a bit of a show-off, when the mood takes her and she decided to “perform” for us.  I attempted to video her in action – not the best video but a bit of fun anyway.  Even Mango got in on the act!
