So many things happened in just 48 hours.
- The Dutch invasion entered Cologne (My crazy Dutch family :-))
- My son turned 10!
- My daughter performed ballet in the big theatre
- We enjoyed the Christmas Markets
It was fantastic to have the entire family here! We do not see each other that often but when we do life is – well intense…we eat, we drink, we debate & we really enjoy each other’s company.
My favorite family quotes:

“Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.” ~Jane Howard
“The family — that dear octopus from whose tentacles we never quite escape, nor, in our inmost hearts, ever quite wish to.” ~Dodie Smith
