Georgie became 5 on the 2nd of July. We had a little party at our place with Annie, Alison and their children Lily (4) and Grace (9). We had hot-dogs and fried chicken (yes, sir) and feta cheese salad (a wink to Europe).
We bought the cake at Dominik's (a sort of American up-market Delhaize) and according to our friend Annie the icing was much better than at Jewel Osco (the competition). Now we know!
The three girls played a lot in the garden and were introduced to arts and crafts by Luis.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening and we were very happy to meet Annie and Alison (such good conversationists!), whom we had only met online (a friendship that started with Luis more than 5 years ago when we were looking into the possibility of adopting in the US). Annie and Alison used to live in New York, but moved to Chicago for work. It was meant to be, of course, us meeting them here.
