About 2 weeks before Christmas we decided to go surprise Diana, Scott, & the kids where they would be spending Christmas- in Amsterdam. Only Scott knew we were coming, but he didn't realize that Lulu (our mom) would be coming too. We got in on Christmas Eve. Scott came to meet us at our hotel. We ran to their apartment (2 minute walk away), up 4 flights of stair, & exploded though the front door. Reaction: Diana was crying, Ella was smiling, Beckett & Charlotte we shell-shocked, Iris was Iris. It was a Christmas miracle! It even snowed on Christmas morning! LuLu brought their stockings and some gifts. The week was spent playing, walking through this beautiful city, Van Gogh Museum, Anne Frank House, Hot chocolate & Pannekoekken at any opportunity, Ice Skating, Bike rides...but the best part was just being together. Thank you Lord, at the end of that week, my heart was full...we didn't deserve such a great week, but You gave it.

All the girls!
