The Hanique's: 2012

Cheese!

Jessie started doing this new thing. Whenever she sees the flashlight of a camera she poses and smiles.

So cute!

Jessie's 1st birthday

The cake

Presents

Wrapping paper... Fun!

Our gorgeous birthday girl

Best friends, both with a band aid on the cheek and both very very tired :)

Kim and French fries

All the presents. So many!

Too bad Jessie slept through almost the entire party so she couldn't open most presents.

When the party was over Jessie woke up :)

She helped me clean up

Opening the gifts

At the day care center they celebrated Jessie's birthday too.

In September we had the annual Lichtjesroute to commemorate the liberation and the sacrifices made by the allied forces in WWII. The Lichtjesroute is a route through Eindhoven with all kinds of figures made of light bulbs (Eindhoven being famous for the Philips lighting factories). Amy and Tessa loved it!

Street party

We had a street party yesterday. It was fun and a great way to get to know your neighbours. I just realized I only have pictures of kids playing... There were lots of games for the kids but as usual I got stuck at the bouncy castle again :)
