Xmas and winter.

Outside the house you can see and feel the winter. So I made some pics outside.

Inside the house Twan and Fleur decorated our christmastree. Hans made christmasdecorations and I made a "puzzle" for the first Xmasday. We invited my parents-in-law with my sisters-in-law and their husbands and children. On the second day of Xmas we are going to visit my family in Germany.

I hope you and your family have a nice Xmas!!

Applepie and bubbles.

This weekend our house was filled with the smell of applepie. Hans is our expert in baking pies!!! How lovely isn't it? Not only the smell was nice, but having a piece of it was even nicer *LOL*.

You didn't saw my LO of Twan blowing bubbles. This picture was taken by Anita. Have you seen her photoblog yet???

My house is already in X-Mas style. How is yours? I hope I'll manage to make some pics to show you later this week.

Girls weekend!!!!!

Friday:
While Hans and Twan are away for a weekend helping my brothers in Germany. Fleur and I are gonna celebrate our Girls Weekend!!! We wanted to watch some tv at 17.00u but at 17.15u it was dark in our house and in the whole neighbourhood. When we lighted some candles Fleur wanted to make a painting by candlelight!!!!
Cause I cook on induction I wasn't able to make us a meal. We decided to go to my parents home where there was electricity. We ate our meal and at 19.30u we could go home.
Saturday:
Today we went to Groningen and we visited the new "Martini Ziekenhuis". There was an "open day" and you could have a look in the new colourful hospital. It was nice to see were hubby Hans is working and we had a nice impression of the whole hospital.

Thank you for having a look.

It is finished.....

I finished this LO (you already saw a sneak peek) last wednesday at Birgit.
Normally they don't sleep in one bed!!!!! At this evening Twan couldn't sleep, so Fleur decided to read him a story. And this is how it ended up..... They both like their Paddington to sleep with them. The Paddington-bears must stay in bed when Fleur and Twan go downstairs. We never have to look after the bears....they are always sleeping!!!!

The story of the little card, the office of Sinterklaas.

This is the story of the little card. I posted this card to a friend (and colleague) of mine. She started working at "the firm" 28 years ago. She is our little sunshine at the office. She really earned this card. I wrote a few personal words at the inside.


This afternoon Twan and I decided to go to the office of Sinterklaas (it's a Dutch version of Santa Claus). Twan drew a painting and gave it to Sinterklaas.


Twan wasn't anxious at all and he had a little conversation with Sinterklaas. In the same room were Sinterklaas received many children there was also his bed. It had nice red textiles and everywhere there were packages.


When we arrived at home Twan choosed to sleep on the couch to wait for his sister. Fleur was on her way home from Gouda. She visited our cousin Leanne with Iris (also a cousin) and grandma and granddad. Leanne turned two today. They had a lovely day at our family.
Twan did go to bed after a big hug and kisses from his sister.

See you next week!
