We had a nice pre-Christmas party on the 23rd for some friends. It was a pot luck dinner and we invited Ella (Ryan’s friend) and her parents over (Peter and Bosun) and Julia (Marcel and Lino’s). The kids had a blast and Madeline really feels like Ryan’s friends are her friends. Sometimes when Ryan runs away to play with his friends Madeline feels very sad and just wants to play with the girls. It’s kind of sad.
The kids exchanged some small gifts and had a blast opening them – kind of a preview of Christmas. Here are some photos from the party.
