Anouk (a future niece) turned 5! She loves to dance and sing and pretend she is Mega Mindy who is a cartoon action hero that is very popular for girls her age. She LOVES Mega Mindy. She is such a sweet, happy, and fun little girl! She has helps me with my Dutch sometimes by pointing at things and asking me what they are. Her and her brothers have learned a little bit of English with the Dora program. FUN kids!
We bought some fun little markers for Anouk's birthday and a Mega Mindy memory game. Here she is opening it, and then coming to give us hugs and kisses because she loved it!
Anouk blowing out the candles on the cake that her cousin Sappora made. Sappora will be making our wedding cake too, she makes AMAZING cakes!
Here is Anouk entertaining everyone in her Mega Mindy costume. She has got some great fighting moves. Then she got Rob Zwakhalen (the guy next to Richard and I) to fly her around/ toss her to the people in the room about a million times haha! We all know how that goes with kids..."again, again!"
What is Halloween????
Thanks to the Linthorst fam and Care's fantastic thoughtful little "care" packages, we had a little taste of Halloween this year... That and the few neighbors who decorated and had some treats for the few little ones who dressed up and went to their doors for goodies. Halloween is recognized and somewhat celebrated, but the dress up and trick-or-treat part of Halloween is just not nearly as big of a deal here as it is in the USA.
Anna Lisa (the little girl I au pair for) got some vampire teeth with a chuck of "blood" from a candy machine. Scary!
Richard and I enjoying our Halloween care package.
