The christmas days were spent at the families, first christmas day at tDe Lier and the second one in Hulst. In order to prevent too much trouble we went straight from De lier to Hulst at the end of christmas day 1. The third christmas day we went back to De Lier again to celebrate Lisette's mothers birthday. The next day was my birthday and we planned to escape to France to visit our friends the Smaals. Still with me? I was surprised with presents by Lisette and the kids as I woke up. There was not much time to celebrate as we were to drive to rance to see arthur, Lisa, Jack and Emma in a nice place near Montargis. The north of France gave us a bit of snow but after the traffic jams around Paris, the road was clear and we arrived around five o'clock in the afternoon. We had a great time with the Smaals and went skating in Montargis the following day. They even remembered my birthday and surprised me with a cake which gave me a hard to time to blow out the candles... Thanks arthur.. As a small thank you we had the equipment with us to fry real dutch fresh oliebollen or in French:"Boule d'huile". In addition we also had Appelflappen.. When we went back, we stopped by my dad in Hulst to "celebrate" the new year. The first new year without our mum. It still is hard to realize we'll never see or be able to speak to her again.. Nils and Wende were allowed to see the fireworks at midnight and together with Maartje and Guusje they enjoyed the fireworks for the first time and they loved it!
