Today was quite a milestone in the year of our family! The last day of classes for Saturday German School until next year. We still must attend the closing party next Saturday. But that is a fun day! The kids perform and receive any diplomas they may have earned. Then the entire family is treated to bratwurst and cake.
Many families seem to skip this festivity every year, but they are totally wrong to do so. The day really is a joy and it is nice to wrap up the whole year with a fun activity for which the kids work so hard preparing.
We also were able to visit with a dear friend who is on holiday from the UK. Her family is old family friends from my father-in-law's university days. The kids are all now grown (My husband and this woman) and we have been hanging out for years. Though since we have had the children, much less often.
It was great to get together with her and just enjoy her company. It makes me wish that she still lived here in the US. Perhaps we will move back to Europe and then we can be closer. One never does know.
So today's happy points are: finishing the year's course for my children and visiting with a dear friend.
