Grant turned 18 this month. In The Netherlands that means he can legally drink and obtain a drivers license, two activities that he has very little interest in. So it wasn't that big of a deal for him. He did receive a letter from the Dutch government that Google translated to "you are now mature". Once again Google translate is not always accurate. The rest of the letter informed him that he had to get his own health insurance now (it's free for children under 18 in Holland) and that his parents would no longer receive the quarterly payment for raising a child (it was never compensated for all the stress anyway).
Grant is also at that age where his wish list is pretty limited. However, we managed to come up with a few gifts. But as you can see in the picture our wrapping was pretty pathetic....little boy paper with cars and trucks and a Lululemon bag. We did deliver on a delicious cake -- tres leches -- for the third year in a row.
