Weekend full of fun

This weekend was what Arya's dreams are made of.

On Friday, we went to a birthday party. One of her friends turned 8. It was a bbq party. She had great fun, climbed on some pillars, sat on some really high up planks of wood (quite dare-devilish for her). Good food and the cake was Ariel.

We had our own bbq party on Saturday. All my colleagues got together at FC. We had a wonderful spread of food and drinks and K's kebabs were a hit as usual. He had prawns on skewers and chicken reshmi kebabs. A was bored for a while until the kids showed up. Then she got real pally with a girl called Alison, and both of them requested to be excused from the party so that they could go upstairs and play in A's room. After Alison left, she didn't miss a beat and started running around and playing with Greg's twins. She even managed to scream a couple of times when they were playing Tag. The change in her was quite stunning and I am really glad. I discovered that she is a fast runner after all ;-)

And then yesterday night, we had dinner at another colleague's house. He has a wonderful family, but no kids Arya's age so she was worried and asked if she could take a book along to read. Turned out that they have a dog - a puppy really who's big enough to knock Arya down, called Aella. So Arya was more than thrilled.

Asked her which she enjoyed the most - Aella won hands down.
