Sunday get togethers with other ex-pats have been hit or miss over the years. But in the past 3 months or so we have consistently had one family come over for time in the Word and a meal together (Sunday Soup).
We have gotten to know this family pretty well the past two years, but these past few months have been precious. They have 3 boys, 1 girl. Tobin loves playing with their oldest son, who is Sophia's age. On days we host in the morning, after naps our kids go to their house and stay through dinner. We keep G at home of course. Last Sunday we flipped flopped. Their house in the morning, our house full of kids from 3:30-6:30, It is a great trade-off. Like swapping date nights almost. They will move back to Holland in December and we will be sad. sad. sad.
Bella wanted them to come to her party but it was already quite big and all of her school friends, so it worked out perfect to have one more small celebration right after our Sunday Soup.
Tobin racing a car up the ramp and their boys built.
Cupcakes today. Today we sang in English and Dutch (we LOVE the Dutch cheer!)
Twelve around the table, Every Sunday.
I did capture the blowing out the candle this time!
And they gave Bella two plaster horses to paint, she and Sophia did a great job painting them.
Happy Birthday Bella! Again! What are we going to do on Tuesday???
