Opa and Oma are here!!

My parents can't wait very long to love up Lilja.. 6 months is about the longest my mom can last before she is on a plane this way.. so like last year, they wanted to join us for Lilja's birthday and for halloween. So fun, because it just feels so festive , without the pricetag of x-mas time on their tickets..we ended up right away going to a fun pumpkin patch this year. Holland obviously does not have Thanksgiving and Halloween, so anything with pumpkins is unknown to them. That same weekend we got Lilja's new bike and they got to see her practise a couple of times.. we did lots of walks, shopping, eneded up in Denver for a couple of days last minute for my Dutch passport and went out to dinners many times. Lilja ended up with a whole new wardrobe and a beautiful new winter coat. Love the clothes in Holland!!
kisses from Oma when she arrived

Love this calm look from Lilja, but don't get fooled, Opa and her were crazy buddies together!!

the pumpkin patch has some fun things to do..
especially the corn pit was a great success. Lilja is a very tactile little girl, I think she could have been in there for hours!!
so serious, just feeling the corn..and tired from all the excitement
the maze was a little scary.. really!!
there are many pictures like this.. Lilja loved copying my dad and still walks with her hands on her back .. so cute!
Oma in heaven!!
Lilja on a car ride, by herself for the first time.. very serious, but this little smile came out as a surprise ;0
