The brother of the mother was also there and he is always friendly and enjoyable to talk to. We got to meet his fiancee, Beth is her name and she is incredibly sweet. Her whole family was there as well: A sister who looks a lot like her, only brunette instead of blond and her parents, who were very pleasant and engaging folks.
Surenna noticed the piano right away and asked for permission to play. She studies the violin, but is able to pick-through songs on other instruments. They had a songbook with the page opened to Ach Du Lieber Augustine and she had fun working through that.
The IKEA store is a long way from our home, but more-or-less right on the way to the friends' place in Plymouth, so we had the grandparents take the kids to the party and my wife and I took the Yukon, with a stop at the store. It was a productive trip, we got tons of cabinets and such for the new room we are working on. Now we will have to redouble our efforts and get that project done! IKEA stores, in case you have never been to one are huge and designed like a maze--you have to go past every department in order to get from the entrance to the check-out. The thing is that it is a kind of nice maze and so you don't mind so much going through it. It does eat up a lot of time though. Don't go unless you need a lot of stuff. Or if you don't mind spending two hours buying three coffee cups.
