The next exciting thing that happened is Sinterklaas came to Los Angeles. He brought Ella what she wanted - a pink umbrella (although it was Hello Kitty, not Princess) and Felix got a Spider-Man toy (Spider-Man riding an ATV). Sint and the Pieten came to the big party that was organized by the Dutch school, and the kids loved it. Although Ella won't go anywhere near Santa Claus never mind talk to or even look at him, she was happy to shake Sinterklaas's hand and talk to him.
(Yes, I will eventually get around to posting the rest of Oma's visit but these 2 posts will have to do for now; the video below took pretty much all day to upload).

Wow! I had not expected to see photos like this, with Ella getting all comfy with Sinterklaas like that! Just goes to show, Sinterklaas is so much cooler than Santa.
I am also impressed the Sint made it to LA so quickly, after leaving Holland. Must have been tiring for such an old man.
Looks like it was a big succes and I am delighted Ella and Felix are now familiar with this essential part of Dutch culture. Yeay DSLA!
Wat een grote meid, even sitting on Sinterklaas' lap - WOW!!!
Wat leuke foto's - nice picture of Pam and the kids too - she should be very pleased.
Thanks for all the photos.
M-WAHHHHH!
Maman
oh, and Felix with Piet is ever so cute too!
(so many pictures, I had forgotten that one...)
So enjoy keeping up with what is going on in your lives. Ella and Felix are growing so fast. Both are beautiful kids. Miss you all,
Love Paulette
Lucky kids, benefiting from both Sinterklaas and Santa Claus. And Sinterklaas looks very relaxed after such a strenuous trip.
Love from papa/opa.
