sinterklaas in ouray

December 5th is sinterklaas day on holland. So we went to ouray and visited our dutch friends there who own a bed and breakfast called the China clipper inn. What a wonderful weekend it was . Sinterklaas came and dropped off presents, we saw a santa parade and lilja talked to santa and Mrs Claus and after an amazing breakfast the next day we went sledding the ouray way.. on a very looong road, and they went so fast. We truly had an amazing time and felt a little on vacation just for a day .
Our beautiful drive to ouray. We did not have any snow in durango, so did not expect the winter wonderland in ouray 


We had some lunch before we met our friends. Santa came and said hi.  

He did not fool lilja.. momma, was that Santa's helper .. because I could not see his mouth.

Nice new powder in ouray.. ofcourse lilja had to make her annual snow angel


Santa's parade was interesting .. maybe 10 people and 1/2 of them were Santa's and elf .. here is an elf pulling santa on a horse... wait of it.. 

Yep on skis!!





Then lilja could talk to santa and Mrs vlaus.  She wants a trampoline .. oh yes !! 

Hi santa on a fire truck !!!

Waiting for sinterklaas.. so excited !!

And yes, candy was thrown into the house and a bag with gifts was left outside .. great games fir all of the kids 

Next morning we all went sledding . Wow, the kids were troopers. Walking up and coming down so fast .. 

Charlotte and lilja were buddies.. 


Lilja wanted to sleep in the snow .. she really loves being in the wet, cold, snow .

But the crash is coming .. let's feed her fast !


Going down the road with daddy was her favorite.. he goes 30 miles an hour, thus the helmets !!

Great  weekend, happy family !!
