Holiday with Friends

Here are some photos taken at the Families with Children From China annual holiday party. As you can see, the girls got hold of some lollipops and were thoroughly enjoying them. Kaila, Maria and Elizabeth manage to always make their own fun.

It was sort of an interesting experience in terms of Elizabeth's earbuds. When we walked into the party there was a lot of loud music. Elizabeth ran out of the room holding her ears, saying it was "too loud". I even lowered the db's by 10 and she still thought it was too loud. It must have had something to do with the bass. It was a DJ so we asked him to lower the music. That wasn't enough for Elizabeth so she pulled her earbuds out and spent the entire four hours of the party without them on. She really couldn't hear a thing anyone was saying--but happily it didn't seem to affect her and she had a ball all evening. I don't think her friends had any idea.

I am going to schedule an appt. with her ear doctor to ask about different strategies for dealing with situations like that.

In the meantime I am just so happy she had such a great time at the party.
