In honor of Erik's birthday, we decided to have a family bowling night. Erik thoroughly outscored us all and was a good sport at us taking over an hour to play one game. The kids loved bowling. Willem had been a couple years ago but didn't remember it, so it was a whole new experience. They're always curious about what Oom Rik does every Monday night and now they know.
How cute are those shoes!!

Ellie, strong as always, carried her own balls to the lane everytime and then would race back to get some popcorn before throwing her 2nd ball.
We had planned on giving Erik a card and some Oreos for his birthday but Willem didn't think that was sufficient. So that morning he went through his toys and picked out a toy and 2 books to give to Erik. Then he dug out the only wrapping paper I had, which was Christmas paper(I have SO become a gift bag person I realized) and wrapped the presents himself.
He and Ellie then helped Erik open them when he got up. Willem explained to Erik that the toy was kind of broken and he and Ellie never read the snake book, so they decided to give them to him. Not sure it was the thought that counted here but it got Erik to laugh:)
Happy Birthday Oom Rik!
