Unfortunately for me, Nikolasstiefel was on the same night as Alice's band concert, so after a prolonged bedtime, I was able to set out Nikolasstiefel treats.
On weekday mornings, the kids wake up in waves, so sadly, I don't have a picture of all of them holding their goodies, but I will say that everything disappeared pretty quickly, and was not left on the floor this year! ; )
Emily has been selling me her roblox gift cards, so that's why she has a google play, while everyone else has the roblox. I don't think she minds the cash though, and I have plenty of people to gift the roblox ones to!
Seeing all the lamentations about elf on a shelf, each year it seems, I'm glad for this simple tradition that the kids seem to love.
But, I was called out by TWO of them, because I forgot to put out the gold coins this year! oops. I'll pass them out in stockings on Christmas morning.
