Sinterklaas avond

December 5th was Sinterklaas avond.

And that means pakjes, pakjes, pakjes!!!


Or, as you guys would say presents, presents, presents.

My sissie, Lisette and my dad. And of course my mom and Ben

My oma Matheij was there too.




One of the many appreciated gifts in action.

Holiday season is here!

It's December and that means the holiday season is here, jippie!

Right away on the first Ben, my dad and I went to get our Christmas trees at the church charity sale. Well, Ben and my dad got the trees, I just pointed at the one I wanted really ;)

Weekend in Maastricht

We spent last weekend with oma Matheij (grandma Matheij, my mom's mother) in her hometown Maastricht. This is a town in the very south of the Netherlands.

We visted the caves of Valkenburg in which there was a really nice Christmas fair.


"I like the candy" Baby Mr.T: "I pitty the fool"

The caves were really pretty and full of little christmas stands.





The town of Valkenburg has a very nice old city center.


Next to the caves, we also went to downtown Maastricht for a walk. As you can see, it's getting colder over here.

On the bridge, overlooking the Maas river.
