Daniel and Rosalyn were in charge of organizing the program that accompanied our celebration this year. They entertained us with a rousing rendition of Rudolph, including a verse written by Rosalyn specifically for this event. They will go down in history for sure (Like Columbus!).
Auntie Nell and Uncle Rol, with the able assistance of the chime holders presented "Sinter Klass kapoentje".
I just love this kid, but Diggy spends a lot of time being plain old cranky. What a funny little guy.
Kelsey played a lovely rendition of "Up on the Housetop!"
Jackson (or is it Jaxon?) was part of the resplendent Father Christmas play, dressed as Sint, himself.
Brent's youngest, Tony, stole the show during their handbell performance. If time it was his note, they would patiently wait for him to ring, and then the song would move forward. He is a cute little guy.
Sint is mounted on his beautiful white horse for the trip through town. Note Zwarte Piet in the background.
Eric demonstrated proper wooden shoe loading in preparation for Sint's annual visit.
Kat as Sint's beautiful white horse. Now you know who the carrots are for.
The entire cast of the play, including Uncle Jim as the narrator. A wonderful performance.
A close up of Zwarte Piet (aka Ammon). He was loving the spotlight.
Hannah recited some classic poetry. She is getting so tall, and is a very accomplished fishe-woman. That makes us kindred spirits.
Max also recited. I hardly recognize him without his cast or his hop.
The Sim Fam Six, during the early stages of their presentation. Lots of fun.
Because there was a microphone, there were several impromptu acts, including Joshua.
The best pat of this photo is looking at the expressions on the family's faces. It is obvious that they ALL enjoy Cody, the proclaimed end of the line.
Because no one else who could was around or willing, Rosalyn pitched in during some impromptu carol singing.
Now there is a smile on Diggy's face. I guess all he needs is a mic.
My old pal, Sam. Love this boy.
Not to be outdone, Miss Sarah gets into the act.
Auntie "B" also pitched in, impromptu, and led us in the carols.
Because the annual children's parade was cancelled due to awful weather, we had a lot more gathering time at the church than was originally planned. Flo entertained the kids like a trooper while the rest of the cousins arrived.
Miss Sarah arrived in full costume, and Uncle Rol, couldn't resist the opportunity to have a photo opportunity with her.
Another shot of the games in progress. What a fun time the cousins all had.
I have broken this post up into pieces, so as not to overwhelm.

Thanks so much for the prompt picture posts! Now, I feel like I was there. :) We were thinking of you all and wearing our mousie shirts in honor of the day.
