After school parties are no small thing here. Because this is Ramadan, most of the families here are fasting from sun up to sun down. In the evenings, they have a big meal. So, for Truett's class party, we all broke the fast together at a hotel in town.
This was my view for much of my evening . . . alone

Paisley's party was in a hotel ballroom. There were presents, songs, dances, games, and food. It was great!

My girl!
Paisley's good friend in her class, Jocelyn.
The teachers even danced!
A friend in Paisley's class is moving, so they had a farewell party for her. They were very nice and included Paisley since she is changing schools.
All the kids
And the mommies
And then all the mommies wanted pictures. I am not including all of them!
And then the mommies again!
This mom right here has taught me how to be a good friend. It is often hard for me at gatherings. Other moms are often intimidated to talk to me and I am often shy to talk to them. But this mom always talks to me and always makes sure I am included. I am so thankful for her!
