So in Holland it’s tradition to frie oliebollen (doughnut balls) on the last day of the year. When I was still in Holland I used to frie the doughnut balls at my parents place.
Here in Berlin this tradition continues, so last Sunday I got up early and started the “oliebollen party”.
Here’s the result after 4 hours of frieing on our balcony:

We are at home again..Tuesday September 12 we left for a week of Holland to surprise my dad with a birthdayvisit since he was having his birthday at September 13.
The week in Holland was great, but being at home again is nice. We missed our pets a lot.
My dad was very surprised, and so was the rest of the family. His birthday was nice, almost all uncles and aunties were there and the weather was great. This made up the hour we had to wait before we could take the bus from Hoorn to my parents and the terrible busride..
The rest of the week was nice and easy… On Thursday we went to Enkhuizen by bicycle, on Friday we went to Alkmaar with my sister and on saturday we went to Petten to walk on the beach with my parents and on Sunday we went to visit my family at the Apenheul.
