Talia's birthday skating party

We managed it!

We only invited five. Abigail's step dad works with Daniel and by coincidence, she goes to St. Jean. Emil and Clemence are in the same class. Kenza is in the other bilingual class but she and Talia were together last year. Eric came down from Walderbach where they moved in September so it was great to see him again.

Here is Talia with Abigail (in the long coat).

I had a little trouble with the group shot. Left to right: Clemence, Eric, Kenza, Talia, Emil, Ronnie and Abigail in front.

We got Davina in this one. Too bad Abigail is looking away!

We then headed to a restaurant where I had reserved and ordered a cake. They were going to give us a table in a more private location but I noticed it was taken so we were a little too mixed in with the other diners. Usually, the French aren't still eating at 4pm so I noticed they were tourists, who actually got into the whole thing, singing along and waving goodbye (gratefully) when we left.

The kids were singing leaving the restaurant, disrupting some street musicians, who were really just kids doing it for fun. Our kids stopped to listen, then we gave them some money to give to the performers.

Because of the Christmas market, I took the tram. I took Kenza, since she lives very close to us and it costs the same with the "park and ride" system here (tickets for everyone in the car, no matter how many for the same price). Four kids on public transport is a little tricky, especially during this busy time.
