Family: Day Four. Also known as The Birthdays Day

Happy 70th Birthday, Opa!!













Our birthday gift was a really great book from the kids. They came up with an elaborate story "The Adventures of Opa, Asia and Ezra" which I turned into a real book thanks to Creative Memories . It was the perfect gift for Opa who is an author of many of his own books.














He cried and laughed all at the same time as he read the story of their adventures. It was full of totally personal touches and inside family jokes.














And then we all (us four, my parents plus my bro Kevin and Theresa) headed back to our house. But first yet another hour-long wait at the border...














Make a wish! The extra-special thing about the day was that my younger brother, Wiebe, and his family came from Atlanta to join the festivities. Not only was it dad's 70th, it was also my nephew Jehan's 5th birthday! It was pretty special that our whole family was together to celebrate both of those milestones.














Look how adorable little Stephan is! He's almost 1 1/2 and the boy always has at least one ball in his hands. He's bound to become some sort of athlete. I know his daddy is hoping the ball fascination will turn him into the first Nigerian/Dutch/American/Canadian/Trinidadian soccer player :)














Let the liming commence!
