Wende's birthday and more

It has been a while since our last update but that is because November and December are busy months for us. Not only Wende, but also Lisette has her birthday in November and I have my birthday in December in between christmas and new year.. And don't forget our Sinterklaas, good for some suspense for the kids.. We've also been to the Efteling and the intention was to go there with my dad who gave us the tickets and my sister with husband and daughters. Unfortunately my dad fell ill a couple of days before we were to go and he was still not in good shape on the day we had tickets for. So we had to go without him but we will make sure that there will be another time to go with my dad and the children. Last saturday we spent time at Lisette's parents to celebrate Sinterklaas with them and Lisette's brother with wife and children. Sunday morning I went swimming with Nils Wende and a friend of Nils, Wendy. In the afternonn my sister arrived with Jaap and Maartje and Guusje and we celebrated Sinterklaas. Our neighbour Joost assisted with the knocking on the window as if the Sint himself was there.. Two bags filled with presents were the only thing that was to be seen in front of the door and the unpacking could start..
