The Netherlands

When I was 7 months my parents took me on a trip to The Netherlands: I could fit in the suitcase if I wanted to!

It was November and very cold and rainy at that time - but I had a ton of fun. This is me with daddy and my "opa and oma Chicago" on one of the grachten in Amsterdam. I could feel the "hobbelige" straatjes while riding in my stroller and there are people on bikes everywhere. Hope one day I will bike around in that town!

We went to some pubs ....


Had another beer...

And did a boat tour as well. FUN!!!!!!!!!!!

In Nijmegen I got to play at my Aunti Ilja's Daycare - dat was leuk!

We celebrated Thanksgiving in Nijmegen and dad made a stuffed "Dikke Kalkoen" for all of us.

I finally got to meet a lot of the people my mom always talks about. Unfortunately I couldn't say hi to all of them but below are some pictures with the ones I did got to hug myself.

On Saturday November 24 ben ik "gedoopt" in de Lourdeskerk in Nijmegen.
A very special occasion and I was happy to share with some lovely people.

After the church there was a party - FOR ME!

That was super cool. I had no idea were everybody was talking about but I had a good time. Look at all the fun people I hang out with that day....
