Sadie is wearing Miffy pajamas, holding a cuddly Miffy doll and on her feet, she is wearing slippers that are made to look like traditional wooden clogs. Sadie isn't up on her world geography and insists that they are "duck shoes", not Dutch shoes, which is what I told her they were. She's pointing at Samuel trying on his "duck shoes".
Miffy is a children's character from author/illustrator Dick Bruna. The Miffy books are available in the states (I actually remember having them as a child myself) but she's not a very well known character. Over in the Netherlands, Miffy is hugely popular and is featured in all kinds of children's products. I think she is so cute and Sadie certainly loves all the gifts.
Thank you Doug and Kristin for being so generous to Sadie...we love having these special gifts from your home-away-from-home, but we wish you didn't live so far away.

Happy New Year. I'm glad that you got to usher in the New Year with your good friends--especially Doug and Kristen. I hope that Sadie can model her "duck shoes" for us sometime soon.
