Aisha & Kiara caught their flight back to Holland tonight at 6pm; while I was at work. It seemed like it all went so fast. Aisha was amazing and really got around more that i expected and i'm pretty sure more than SHE expected! We even hit the shopping mall; which had provided for free a motorised scooter for her to truck all over the place. It was great loading her up with all the purchases! I may have to try and get one for me the next time i go...really pile on the bundles.... We almost bought Zara the horse! hahaha
I have no idea how Aisha did it all and kept up with the frantic pace of FUN after fun culminating at Thanksgiving Day at the Rocks!!!! Megan was a wonderful host to Kiara and Kiara warmed up quickly with a few verses of her PING and PONG song! Megan and Kiara were wrestling and showing off their own brand of Judo/Tae Kwon do to each other; we laughed so hard. I think Tommy, Matt's 16 year old brother, was the first in line cheering them on! He evidently was HIGHLY amused!
Then we all-- Renee included-whether she wanted to or not!- sang (in English) "Singing in the Rain" with Kiara & her zippy Dutch accent!
We had our first ever deep fried turkey; nice one Matt! The house survived the traditional deep fry Turkey fire; so that was a positive! The food was all superb; butternut squash and homemade apple pies!
Dinner was spectacular and sitting at the table hours later, even after dinner and dessert was served, was the most fun. Baby Zara, Tommy jr and Jack had all since fallen asleep and it was such a nice and relaxed scene!
Here is a smattering of shots from the past 9 days!
and now on to Christmas- as made apparent by FM 97.1 which is a radio station that starts to play ONLY holiday music all the way til the 25th! Gotta love that kind of shameless marketing!
