It's always a lot funner to take my girls shopping because they always find clothes that they look cute in and are willing to try on strange and different things. We found all kinds of fun things (mostly for Alyna) and found some great stores. Most of our favorite stores didn't look like anything very interesting from the outside but once you got in the door a ways, we found all kinds of amazing things; either fun clothes or stores that appeared small but turned out to be these huge department stores.
Today, Dennis and I spent the morning running errands, like grocery shopping, washing the car, etc. Then, this afternoon we attended a "high tea" party in honor of a couple in our ward. The wife had just turned 60 and the husband is going in on Tuesday for a major open heart surgery. Their son from Utah, and their daughter from Indonesia as well as the two daughters living here in Holland were all here so they had a huge celebration. It was held at a nice, very old, reception/restaurant center.
There were all kinds of teas and little cakes and things that I have no idea what they were but most of them good, as well as crumpets and muffins. There were tributes given, silly songs and old songs sung and then they brought out the little sandwiches and the quiche. It was a very good, it just seemed like a strange order to serve things in.
Carlo's tribute to Armanda made everyone chuckle and quite a few teared up. I wasn't one of the teary ones, only because I didn't understand much of it. They are wonderful people and have been such a help and blessing to us as we've gotten settled here.

It's times like these when you actually want to learn Dutch, eh?
