Holland Trip -
Part 3
Jack's Birthday

We started out Jack's birthday with opening presents from Opa and Oma and one we brought from home. He scored on an awesome playmobil castle, complete with knights, horses, and weapons













We had fun assembling all the parts, and Mariana even got a present.



Later in the afternoon, we went to Jacoline and Paul's house for a kids' party. Our cousin Sam's birthday is a week after Jack's, so we had a joint party with other friends and relatives, and then a BBQ. Thank you, Paul and Jacoline!









Christiaan and Jacoline







Jack and Maurice (Paul's nephew). A bonus -- Maurice speaks English!!

The cakes - straight from a real Dutch bakery - #6 for Jack, #7 for Sam. They were delicious cake, fresh fruit filling, and loads of real whipped cream on top, and, as you can see, lots of goodies on top. YUM.

Sam's ready to blow out her candles!

Paul, the muscle man and master bbq-er!
