Ok…..maybe this is actually the final post.

My niece and her friend are over to take care of our girls while we head to party tonight.  They came over a little early to just hang out with the girls so I’m enjoying some peace as now the laundry is all folded!

So a continuation of our events.

I hosted my very first Turkey Christmas dinner and well I can say it was a success.  Though I do have to give credit to my dear mother who prepared the turkey in advance.  All I had to do was put the bird in the oven at the right time!  I also made the potatoes, extra stuffing and veggies.  Oh and I just realized I forgot the applesauce……..no one seemed to notice though.

Who knew that a kids game could be so entertaining!

An intense game of Guesstures!  Thanks H+S for bringing it along.

Time to feast!

The goofy kid table.  I remember sitting at a table back in the day being as hyper as these 4.  That’s what kid wine does!

Before we knew it Christmas was over.  We did enjoy one more dinner the next evening with all of D’s extended family.  A huge assortment of baking, soups and appetizers.  We could’ve fed the neighbourhood with all the leftovers.

The following day, Monday the 27th we took a “mini” holiday down to Bellingham.  We decided to try and snag up some deals on clothes and things for the day.  We came out very successful!  Here is the girls eating popcorn after a good long swim in the pool.

One last adventure was getting together with D’s family for another yummy Turkey dinner and opening gifts together.  We even involved uncle P this year via Skype as he was enjoying some ski holiday.

Wishing you blessings for 2011!

A little bubbly

This was the very first night that I officially slept well.  Finally transitioned over to the Dutch time zone.... Started the day with by filling the stomach with a good Dutch style breakfast.  If you're not Dutch could you guess what it is? With full stomachs we headed out for the day.  It was a rather frightening start down the skinny Dutch little road.  It barely can handle a bike and a car passing each other.  So to our surprise a massive semi truck was barreling down the road.  We pulled over in a pullout but  became trapped between a large truck and the canal. That canal was not looking too pretty for a swim.... Glad we didn't end up going for that swim and the we had no extra rental car bills to pay as the truck nearly missed the sideview mirror.  After safely arriving to the park n' ride we caught the bus.  This is a fantastic system if you're in Holland!  It cost 5 Euro to park the car and ride the bus for up to 5 people! ...

In Memory of Dad

Image
The words don't come easily this time around.  The grief of the past year has swirled around and all the firsts were experienced without our Dad about.  What do you say....you need to move on.  Somedays are easier than others and somedays you don't want to go through, but you do, because we live in the land of the living.  We have a testimony to give, this world is only but a breaking ground for what is to come.  This earth is a temporary home, the brokenness of it, in it will pass away one day, but today we keep on living.  May our Heavenly Father continue to surround our family as we live without people we love.  May He give us the strength to be a living testimony and a light shining to those in darkness, even if we feel dark some days, may even that little spark of light give others hope! Precious are these memories when we went over for Dad day visits.  This was the mr. E's birthday....we celebrated with cupcakes.  He received money...

Christmas Blessings to you!

Wishing you and your families a wonderful Christmas Season.  The season full of GREAT News and JOY.  God isn't just a serious, he grants us the biggest joy we could ever have.  And so we can reflect on this past 2015 in the remembrance that all we've been given, the good, the bad, the unknown, any happenings and say it was all part of God's plan, his perfect and good will! *It's been a whirlwind of a year, many changes happened in 2015 for us.  We lived without being able to tell my Mom every crazy thing that happened in our lives good or bad. *We moved neighbourhoods which was a good thing and a a sad thing all at the same time.  Our kids this morning still asked to move back to our "old" house.  (A family see we still Love you). *Everyone of our blessings grew one year older and remained healthy and happy *We did some great family adventures, some individual work travels and some travelling as a pair.  Those adventures (minus the work ones...
