These are the words of Ilianna's bedtime book, except then it's Eeyore instead of Ilianna that Pooh has a present for.
But today is Ilianna's birthday and she is 3 years old. The time really is flying by. Yesterday we spent the day with friends and family. The morning was spent with Sybo and Jantine (my cousin) and their 3 kids, my brother-in-law, Sjouke and his girlfriend, Janneke, my brother-in law Klaas, his wife, Sigrid and their 3 kids and Ilianna's Pake and Beppe from here in Friesland.
One of the presents that Ilianna recieved was this drum, which, as you can see, she really loves!
Here she is opening her present from her Pake and Beppe.
In the afternoon we enjoyed the company of Wiebe and Sofia, the parents of the girls I babysit, plus the girls of course, and our friends, Marc and Geke, and their two boys. My mom was there the whole day of course, which was really nice!
All in all it was a nice day, even though Ilianna was not herself, suffering a little bit from a cold. At one point it was all too much for her, and she didn't want to open any more presents. We now have a basket full of gifts that she still has to open, so we'll probably be working on that all week.
One thing is for sure, our lives really changed 3 years ago, and we wouldn't trade in 1 moment since then!
