Happy New Year!

New Year's Eve + Day is complete without this Dutch tradition: appelflappen/appelbeignets and oliebollen!

And of course fireworks...

I love his facial expressions!

 

Raclette party grill...or 'gourmetten' as we call it in Holland!

 Always room for more of these...

And back to homeschooling after the holidays (we just did English + Math for a couple of weeks, now we're back to doing everything). Of course it's much more fun with a chickie watching!

 

 The end of a fun girls' day out for my friend Rachel's birthday!

At work with Daddy

 

 Pretty sky!

 Getting some homeschool help from these guys...

 Trying to outrun the truck!

 Collecting rocks

 

 Trying to get a normal picture...

 

 Well finally, a fairly normal one!

 After almost 8 years in Texas, I finally ordered my first cowboy boots!
