Hannah's Party aka. my birthday and going away party

So my year is almost over and my birthday is coming up. It’s not my birthday yet and I get emotional when I think about the “for the last time(s)” and “end of year … (ex. party)” so my counsellor and YEO (my exceptional fourth host family) organized a “Hannah’s Party” to save me some tears. They invited all three of my host families to their house for dinner. It was really a special evening for me. Before I even knocked on the door to their house I had tears in my eyes (I am a very emotional person). It was the first time that I saw my first host family in 6 months. At first we had Apero which includes appetizers and drinks. We chatted with each other, played with the kids/jumped on the trampoline and took pictures. It was nice to see my host families bond and get along with each other so well. We had a wonderful dinner on the patio, the weather was so nice it really was a perfect evening. There were lots of delicious desserts (I probably ate too much but whatever \_’-‘_/ ). This evening was such a wonderful evening. It was the best birthday present/end of year party I could ask for. I am so happy to have met such wonderful people and I am going to miss them so much. My host families have done so much for me and have had such a positive impact on my exchange year. As much as I am excited to see my family in Canada I am sad to have to leave my new family behind. I really hope that they all come to visit me in Canada!!!!!!

  2. Outdoor garden party gives a new goal to all guests to enjoy their own way. Seeing this post, got an idea to look for an open spaced party venue for my sister's bridal shower. Would be easy to decorate it with lovely lights and colorful flowers. Cake cutting ceremony and dinner will also be managed wonderfully.
