Today started off with sleeping in for everyone EXCEPT Mimi who is naturally a early riser. Then papa was off to the memorial service for Loella's son Jesse. Unfortunately mama and Mimi had missed Blake's game. We somehow got the time mixed up with last week's game. So therefore Mimi could not cheer him on as usual. Mimi is a small girl with a great big mouth so to speak. She can yell quite loud "C'mon Blake!!! You can do it!!!"
In the afternoon Mimi and mama went to go and visit with grandma and grandpa for a little while. Along the way we stopped at a Izzy's and brother Bubba, Erin and brother Liam's house to give their Chinese New Year gifts. Mimi really enjoys giving gifts to her friends. Instead of the red envelopes and chocolate coins, Mimi had given grandma Chinese New Year stamps that she bought at the post office a while back. Grandma really liked that a whole lot.
Then it was on to Liam's birthday party. A good time was had by all. Mimi had such a good time that she did not want to leave. "Mama, just a 100 more minutes. OK?" she said. Finally mama was able to get her to leave.
Along the way to Connie's for the New Year celebration, mama got a little lost. Not by much tho'. Still getting used to the streets saying NW___ or SE___. Then there is the part where the street numbers go up then at some point go down. EGADS!!!
We finally arrived and met papa there. The girls really had a good time especially when it came time to open their presents.
Last but not least it was time to go to the Golden Phoenix Restaurant to watch the Lion Dance. They put on a really good performance. All in all today was a super good day.
