Birthday Party #15

Schools starts and so does Birthday party season! Sunday we actually had 2 parties on the same day – Andy’s was first – we went before church at 930 AM and then left the party before it was over and made it to Church in time for Sunday School.

Ally drew a picture in the card of her and Andy and a tree. A fitting card since the party was at a local nature preserve and the kids went on a hike and searched for bugs.

Ally was delighted to see her friends, Stella (as usual) and in a fun twist – the girl to the left is a new kindergarten friend of Ally’s, Angelina! Angelina attended the same preschool as Ally, but is a few months younger than Ally so they were never in the same class and did not know each other until kindergarten. Angelina was in Andy’s class last year at pre-school, while Ally was at junior kindergarten.  Right away on the first day of school Ally said she made a new friend.  I have met both of Angelina’s parents this week and they said she talks about Ally at home as her new friend as well. So sweet.

Liem’s mom took these pictures of the guided nature activities. Ally was so excited to tell us she caught a really big callapiller (how she pronounces caterpillar).

It was a really fun, interesting and educational party.

We have signed Ally up for a monthly class at this Nature Center with Andy and another preschool friend Luca. Now she is really looking forward to the first class in a few weeks.
