Who needs to book a ticket to the Netherlands when all you need is an invite to Yana’s first birthday bash to feel the authentic Dutch spirit? With red, white, and blue splattered at every corner, different cheeses ready for munching, and plaid strewn all over the place, I immediately felt like I was transported to Western Europe within minutes! Props to She Dreams in Ink for turning the Acropolis Clubhouse into a Dutch wonderland! Bedankt!

What we’re digging:

• The cheese buffet definitely added to the whole authentic Dutch feel! Nomnomnom.
• Yana and her mother dressed like Dutch milkmaids? Awwwww, who doesn’t love some mother-daughter matchy-matchy! Thank you, Sugarpuff Photography for capturing every moment perfectly!
• You know what totally blew me away? The WINDMILLS. (Get it?) Can’t get any more Dutch than that!
• What in the world is a Stroopwafel anyway? Doesn’t matter, I’m taking some home!
• Seriously, what IS a Stroopwafel?!
