Christmas was a success!

We started our Christmas celebrations on Christmas Eve in Zoetermeer. Here we see Aunty, Opa, and Evie playing at the piano.

On Christmas morning Evie was busy being a little elf - making sure everybody got their presents.
Her favorite toy was the drum. Evie treated us to a concert.
And Oma Wilma played back up on the tombourine.
Back in The Hague we found that Santa had also visited us there! Evie's favorite was her new baby doll and stroller.
She also loves her new books (pictured here, The Lorax)
And various other presents, including a little dog.
That evening we went to Martijn and Danielle's for a delicious dinner where everybody has their own little pan to cook their food in.
The next day (known as Second Christmas Day here in Holland) we headed up to Zeijen to see Els, Erno, and Bincky the Dog. Evie and Bincky were fast friends.
And of course, Evie got another present - a talking Ernie that teaches you how to tie shoes, open zippers, velcro, etc.
During dinner, Evie decided she'd much rather sit in Bincky's crate than eat.
And she closed the door herself!
She did decide to join us for dessert...
Evie wanted to sleep in Bincky's bed that evening, but we wouldn't let her.
The next morning, before we headed home, we went for a walk and Evie was able to walk the dog!!

We hope your Christmas was as fun and warm as ours!
