mylène daily

Precisely speaking, the day of Mylène's party was not Xmas anymore, but for now, let's pretend it was, because it was a really nice celebration.
On 27 December, many family members and friends came to Gouda to meet Mylène for the first time. Even more people than expected showed up, and definitely more kids. I really never realised until then, that parties with friends will be enriched with many children running around, from now on. It was a happy crowd, this 3rd Xmas day.

I did not plan the catering very well, I must admit. Also a sign that parties will be different from now on, I guess. Most of the guests only stayed shortly. No lingering, no drinking until all bottles have been emptied. No filled living room until deep in the night. So, the drinks, snacks, and food, I had planned that were needed, mostly remained untouched. The good thing about it was, that we don't need to buy soft drinks, snacks, toast and french cheese during the next couple of months. I did try to learn from this experience and noted what had been consumed, really .... it was not much! Let's see, if my catering planning better matches the occasion, next time.

Of course, this detail did not spoil the party in any way! We had a splendid time, and I think Mylène enjoyed the attention as well. She was smiling to everyone, and was not upset by the busy crowd afterwards. In short: it was a wonderful day that will turn into a beautiful memory.

Thank you all for coming!
