That tiny baby turned FIVE yesterday!

Due to circumstances, I didn't make or send out cards for the holiday season; there will be an end of year post about that later. Until then a big thank you to everyone who send me paper or digital wishes, they were much appreciated (and needed and loved) *smishes y'all*
Yesterday, December 23rd, was my darling nephew's 5th birtday and we celebrated with a trip to Artis Zoo in Amsterdam. Here are some photos with limited commentary (I'm not naming all the animals;)

Afterwards my mom and I had some time left to go into Amsterdam and when it got dark we tried to find some of the light art in the canals, part of the annual Amsterdam Light Festival. We found some gorgeous pieces (and secretly hope to be able to do a boattour before the end of the festival in January)

Happy Holidays, everyone! May your days be filled with just the right amount of merriness:)
