PARTY!

Today we went to a Children's Christmas Party over at the Swiss Hotel.  It was such a fun morning.  Asher was able to meet Santa and he made some new friends.  They had cookies, pizza, hot chocolate, cupcakes and presents for each child.  I enjoyed Asher's food and he enjoyed a Christmas cookie! Asher's gift from Santa was a huge tube of bubbles! It was great to meet more foreign moms living here in Izmir and also learn that there are some people here that celebrate Christmas! YAY! 

Asher and Jackson

 Asher loved the ornaments

 Asher and Alysse from Germany.  She's adorable!

 Asher and Santa.  Asher tried to tug on his beard and I couldn't help but laugh at the very homemade Santa outfit.  At least it was a great attempt and the kids didn't even notice!  The funny part was how all of the children started screaming and crying when Santa came skipping in yelling "HO HO HO!" 

 On the right is Pinar.  She is the one that put this entire party together! She did a great job!

 Most of the group. It's impossible to get a decent group photo with a bunch of kids!

 Asher was obsessed with his bubbles and loved to watch this little boy suck on his pizza.

 Jen just moved here from the States! YAY!

 Catching the ferry to go home.

My other friend Pinar (I met today!) and her daughter Leva and then Addie! 

It was a great day and I was so happy to attend my first party all for Asher! Merry Christmas from a place that was 60 degrees and sunshine today!
