Going Away Party ("No Mom, it's a Get Together!"

So Max invited about 15 friends over this afternoon as a "going-away get-together" party. Nice mixture of about 8 girls and 8 boys. Too much pizza and sodas consumed, but in the big picture, Max has a wonderful group of friends who support him and like to hang out together. All polite, kind and generally a great group of polite and caring teenagers.

Molly is hanging out with her girlfriends at a separate "get-together" with her girlfriends. I like the way both kids refuse to say that they are having "going away parties." It's easier to say "get-together;" makes it less difficult to leave your dearest friends and confidants behind.

I have very fond memories of my large group of friends back in Sao Paulo, Brazil. We used to have "get together" parties every time I arrived in Sao Paulo and every time I left to come to the States. I remember them well.
