Jasmine bowls a strike! Avery, Jasmine’s bff from school, had her ninth birthday at a bowling alley. While Jeff and I looked on, Jasmine, Avery and another school friend, Kassidy had a blast bowling. The gutter gaurds helped, of course. After cake the girls watched as Avery went into the booth of swirling game tickets and grabbed as many as she could. The day ended with video games and prizes.
We went to Beth’s house for a dinner party. Homemade apple pie with ice cream was a big hit.
We had a sumptuous Thanksgiving with roasted chicken, mash potatoes, green bean bake, and three pies. And a mushroom dish for Emily.
I put a half chicken on Jasmine’s plate – she got very excited with big eyes she said “Is this all for me?”. She wasn’t too sure how to eat it though so she had me cut off the drumstick.
Emily’s pumpkin pie was the best I every had! I told her it was like a warm hug.
We were invited to a Adoption Family Event today. There were arts & crafts, mind-bender puzzles, reptile petting zoo, face painting, clowns and balloons.
Afterwards, we went out for a Chinese lunch, where we admired Jasmine’s new stuff bear that was part of the free grab bag at the event.
Emily made herself a homemade birthday ice cream cake.
She celebrated this week by going to an art studio to make some fun pottery projects.
