Drinks at the Neighbors

Friday evening we were invited to tower 5...right next door...to have drinks and appetizers with my friend Zeina, her husband Simon, and another couple Aysun & Semih. It was just what we needed. It felt "festive" to be with new friends! The kids ran around and Fayth didn't want much to do with Zeina's three boys!!!! None the less...it was still fun! Jon and I tag-teamed all night. Both families bought Fayth Christmas gifts. She received a French bingo game with animals & dominos and a tin box of princess puzzles. It was such a nice gesture from both of them. And what does the "American bring"...Food...I made a triple recipe of guacamole!!
Aysun and her husband would like to start a family soon. However; after the evening was over (to many stories to blog about)...I guarantee they've changed their minds!!!!!!!
It was a wonderful evening and we even sampled foie gras (duck liver) a delicacy in Paris. Zeina's friend shipped it to her! It is a tradition in France. Would we eat it again...??? probably not! However; the peach vodka and grapefruit juice went down like water! Good thing we walked and live right next door! Great times with new fun friends!!
