Weekends that are busier than weekdays

Our weekends have been so busy these last few weeks. We drove out to the other side of the country again on Saturday morning to go pick up our car. Klaas had been whining about it for two weeks (ever since we bought it) and had started counting in sleeps since Wednesday. "3 more sleeps till we can pick up the car!"

Klaas was as giddy as a school girl at a One Direction concert. (I'm looking at you, Sofie!)

 

By the time we got home, it was already time to get ready to go to Klaas's mom's. She had invited us over to celebrate her birthday. She has a cute teeny-tiny house and with 8 people (my sister-in-law and her fiancé and my stepbrother-in-law and his girlfriend were also there) and 3 dogs, it was definitely a Full House.

 

My stepfather-in-law. Please excuse his craziness, he's Dutch. Haha!

 Posing. Cos I got it like that.

 

 My mother-in-law is an artist. She makes tons of ceramic objects.

I love this mirror. It's so rustic.

My sister-in-law's pug, Nala.

Look at her sleep. :-)

Those back legs!

 

My sister-in-law's other dog. Balou is an Alaskan Malamute and by far the most ginormous dog I have ever seen!

 

Today, we decided to pay Klaas's grandparents a visit, because we wanted them to pick out some pictures from our wedding. (More on that in a later post!) They were impressed by our car and grandpa told us again how good and reliable Toyotas are (he does this every time he sees us :-)) and how we'll enjoy driving it.

 

We only let them know we were coming about an hour before we actually got there, because otherwise grandma would've started cooking a three-course meal again. As you can see, it's impossible for her to just pour out some coffee and put some biscuits on the table. She's so adorable. :-)

 

Here's a random picture of "Me Julie" in the snow:
