Making Our Rounds For The Holidays
We admit, we have been bad friends for many of our wonderful friends. For example, Hong & Chelsy, two of the nicest and generous friends we have. We have NOT seen Hong ever since Erik was born (April 2006). We have NOT seen Chelsy since our baby shower (March 2006), by the way, which both the girls threw for Mummy, along with another girlfriend! Basically, we haven't seen or connected properly with each other for almost 2 years!! Absolutely crazy!
Well, it's about time that we got together and properly have Erik meet 2 of his biggest fans! This past Saturday, we headed over to Chelsy's "mansion" (really, its so spacious and lots of room to run!) for an informal luncheon just so Mummy can catch up with both of them, including Hong, and Chelsy's wonderful kids. We were hoping nothing more than just a couple of hours to catch up with each other properly, with all the ups and downs of our lives.
However, we were so surprised that they had a full-fledge luncheon setting going on. Seriously, it was a page out of Martha Stewart with the whole charger, dinner plate, glasses, etc. We have not had such a lovely and elegant luncheon in a long time. Those 2 sisters absolutely go out of their way all the time for us! We had some awesome homemade butternut squash soup (Daddy's Favorite), some homemade lasagna & salad, along with Hot Apple Cider! Mmmm Mmmm! WE LOVED IT!
Most of all, we really just enjoyed the company. Erik behaved so well at the table (well, he's still a toddler, he still wanted to throw a little whatever he doesn't like to eat around and spit things out occasionallly but in general, he behaved very nicely for the whole 30-40 minutes with some gentle reminders).
We ended up staying for a solid 2 1/2 hours just for lunch. Erik was very at home, which was surprising! He loved all the toys they had out! He loved looking at the oscar fish and the 2 birds they had. They even had a little turtle!! Chelsy's oldest daughter, Tiffany, who is in high school, even wanted to play DDR with Erik!! When we had to say good-bye, Chelsy was the one who got a kiss from Erik! Could not believe it. Hong who gave Erik little backrubs when he was just way too tired, was shunned from the kiss, instead he gave out a hug! HAHAHA!
