Who are these two characters?

Happy Birthday Kelsey! 19? How can that be? I am not old enough to have a daughter that age!!
We tried really hard to get the perfect birthday photo, but we were not successful. Looks like your grandparents were, however. We hope you had a wonderful day and look forward to celebrating your birthday when you get home.
We love you lots.
We miss you tons.
We can't wait to have you home again soon. Love, Dad, Mom, K2, K3, K4, Boo, and Sherman.

Happy birthday, Kelsey and Kevin!!!

Have a great year.

As always, you're the best!

Love from us.

This year in school our fundraiser was called "Adventure Around the World". Each class chose a country to display. My class chose the Netherlands. With the help of many, including Mom Fennema, we put together a great booth. The windmill is simply a furniture box but it looks pretty convincing.







This dutch dude looks dashing as he sports the costume we made. I am not sure what is wrong with his neck. Perhaps the weight of his dutch-size brain is weighing him down.
These two kids are my favorite. I might need to make a man-size vest for this hombre.
The garden was full of flowers made by my class. Fun facts about the Netherlands were printed on the larger tulips. We served some dutch cookies and double zout (not sure how to spell that!) It was fun.
