Thanks to our neighbors back in Mittlebrunn we can carry on the German tradition of a schultute for our little guy. All his buddies started 1 Klasse this week. J won't start till the 8th but we are ready! A schultute is a school cone or bag. When children in Germany set off for their first day of school parents and/or grandparents present them with a big cardboard cone, prettily decorated and filled with toys, chocolate, candies, school supplies, and various other goodies. It is given to children to make this anxiously awaited first day of school a little bit sweeter. As part of our going away gift our dear friends sent us on our way with all the materials to make this cool alligator. We had alot of fun putting it together!! So we are ready now... and truly anxiously awaiting... my last baby goes to school!!more pics of our German friends!! what an exciting day!!
