Well, I was planning to send this greeting last weekend when I was in The Netherlands visiting my relatives and had a night over there but I didn't have the chance to do it.
We had 2 birthdays in the family, my niece and her 4 years old son this month and the party was joined together as planned. I am the only one living in Germany while some of my relatives are living in Holland aka The Netherlands.
The party was fun and I have eaten a lot of Filipino food that I have missed. Of course it was a bit loud because there were more than 5 small children there. 4 of them ( 2 to 4 years old) were the small children of my nieces who seldom see me. The first day they cried when I tried to carry them but yesterday, I was already accepted by them. I was happy to cuddle them. They were so cute.
Last night, we drove home to Germany. How was your weekend, by the way. Were you in another Country or out of your town?
The photo is the cake I baked for the birthday party. A chocolate moist cake wished by my relatives. Thanks for reading.

@thelme55 When I was on that package Europe tour I so wanted to see those tulip fields in Amsterdam but we missed the season just by 15 days.

Thank you very much @allknowing. It seems my baking is getting better every year . There are no longer tulips at this time of the year in the Netherlands. Last year in April, I was in Keukenhof garden park and there were thousands of tulips in that park. Awesome.

It sounds like it was a good weekend for you. We stayed home and I babysat this past weekend. =)
