Happy Birthday, Mom!


Mom had a birthday today! At her request we drove to Kijkduin to see the lit-up balls in the sand. It was so foggy you can't even see there's an ocean back there... Oh well. =)
On the way we stopped by one of the few Yankee Candle stores we have here and bought Mom a few additional gifts. Don't you just looooooooooooove those Yankee candles? I'm so spoiled. My guy gets me one at every opportunity. =)



After wandering around trying to find a good place to get coffee and fries, we ended up going to a tiny little snack shop on the waterfront. It was so small it almost seemed like our waiter (the only person there) was playing restaurant. (chuckle) I was kind of afraid of how sanitary the place and food might be, but we were all pleasantly surprised. Talk about yummy steak fries!




WHAT is it??? As we were driving past, I did a double take when I laid eyes on this duck...quail...goose??? What a poor confused creature! =D





Happy Birthday, Mom! We love you!

Happy birthday, Mrs. Huussen! I appreciate you so much!

That is one crazy looking bird. WOW. It reminds me somewhat of a male eider duck which are common in Alaska. I have never seen ANYTHING like that bird. I guess God had some purpose in making it look that way. (chuckle)

So glad you all had a nice time on your mom's birthday.

With love,

Naomi
