A Celebration with British Friends

The highlight of our celebration was being together with our British friends, the McMahons. We watched the Royal Wedding together last night and enjoyed eachother's company. Lee, Christine, William and Emma live across the street at Casa Merah and we met at a birthday party of a mutual friend. William and Emma also go to local schools so it has been great knowing another expat family who can understand some of our challenges. Our helper was busy all day preparing lasagnas, an Asian chicken dish and a fresh fruit medley. Pit found "Royale" chocolates the other day while we were shopping at the FairPrice. There is a chocolate in the shape of a crown and another one with the profile of...I think...Princess Diana. We enjoyed some bubbly and toasted the bride and groom before the kids went outside and ran around in the dark for awhile to let off some steam! Lee's parents, Rob and Elaine, flew over from London and brought lots of fun party items to make our celebration complete! Congratulations to the newly married couple and best wishes for a peaceful future together!
