St. Nikolaus Party

December 6, 2009

Although St. Nikolaus day isn't celebrated that much in north america, rubby's friend dominique knew a group of people that all have some european connection and thought it would be a lot of fun to get everyone together to celebrate.

sam quickly discovers some toys to play with

but then decides to put them to bed so she can do other things.
