Special Friend Day

Elina had her Grandparents/Special Friend Day this week. Since Ah-Gong and Ah-Ma are in Taiwan at the moment, J was next in line. Elina also wanted J's friend, JH, to attend the special day, too.

For Special Friend Day the kids show off the things in their classroom and then the teachers have a craft set up for each child and their special people to do together. Then they all go eat lunch in the Big Room (kind of our cafeteria).


Elina, J, and JH used markers, gems and other things to decorate a wooden block together. The teachers took a picture of each child with his/her special friends, printed out the picture and clipped it onto the block. It's really quite cute. It's also neat because the picture can be switched out.

Unfortunately, there were a lot of special friends at the school that day. So many that there were no available seats in the Big Room for Elina, J, and JH. They had to sit outside in the cold for a portion of their meal. The other downer was that I made yummy cranberry almond brownies for the event and there were none left for Elina, J, and JH to try. So sad.

Even though it was a crowded event, Elina was still happy to have her special friends with her!
