Parties..parties..parties

Friday afternoon, 2 parties planned for JJ and Jezz. First a pool party at Logan's house, a class mate from Jezz. That was fun, all the kids from his class were invited plus JJ, although she is from another class, he likes her a lot and so she was invited as well.

After that a Beach Birthday party for Emmy and Ella. JJ and Jezz's best friends!

The rest of the weekend is not much different. Only parties, parties, parties, each day 2. Pool, Beach, BBQ and Goodbye Parties. So not much else to do, except between and before the parties we are cleaning out the last items before the movers come on Tuesday.

These pictures are from Emmy & Ella's monkey beach party that JJ and Jezz attended yesterday. They had so much fun! All sort of activities, swimming, crafts and other fun things they did. It was a blast!

We will surely miss Emmy, Ella, Mia, Bob and Val! We always had great times with them ;-) And Emmy and Ella are JJ and Jezz's first and best friends here in Ridgefield. We just have to start emailing, skyping to keep in touch with the Liu's! I already set up JJ and Jezz's own email address, so if you like to drop them a line send it to funkydoodledonkey@gmail.com! We are waiting for the first email ;-)

Have a good weekend y'all!

surprise goodbye party...

Almost the whole group.
My friends Patsy, Suzy and Marion organised a surprise goodbye party for us. And it was indeed a complete surprise!...now I know why Marion diddn't want to do the Brunch at the Waldorf, instead she opted for breakfast...we had to be back in Ridgefield ;-)
Valerie, Tanya, me, Suzy, Edwana & Lea.
Most of our friends were there with their children, it was a steamy hot day (95F/35C with humidity in the 90's as well!) but it was so much fun!! Very emotional for me, fun and sad at the same time! Everybody there had given a photo of their family, with their address details and a small anecdote about how we met. Suzy collected all these photos and text and put it together in a binded book for us to have. Such a great gift!!

Patsy lives on rainbow lake and all the children were swimming and kayaking in the lake, they had a great time! Everybody brought some food and drinks and we chatted, had fun and enjoyed our last party together with this group of people.

Goodbyes are not forever.
Goodbyes are not the end.
They simply mean I'll miss you
until we meet again!
