MIMI AND ELIZABETH

When the parking performance was over, they came inside for pictures.

LION DANCE

After finishing dinner we all headed out to the parking lot to watch the entertainment. Man was it cold outside! Could not get back inside fast enough to suit me.

GUNG HAY FAT CHOY AGAIN

While Mimi and dad were up on the slopes today, I stayed home to get some much needed R&R. In the late afternoon we all headed over to the Golden Peacock for dinner with our China friends.

AN "AMAZING" DAY

This morning Mimi and dad went to Snoqualmie for ski lessons. While Mimi was in taking a class, dad and several other instructors hit the slopes. Dad says that when he got back to pick up Mimi, she blurted out "Dad! I did an amzing job!!!" According to dad Mimi is doing really good at what they call the "pizza" stance, and she learned how to make the turns today. Also the kids got to go up on the lifts. Dad is seriously considering being an instructor again. Doesn't pay anything but there are a little perks to it such as free ski lift tickets which go for about $50.00 a pop and since he is up there anyhow skiing while Mimi's in school, it makes perfect sense to us.

ANOTHER SNOWY DAY

Today Mimi was supposed to have the day off from school but since they had plenty of snow days in December, her school district had decided to have the kids come to school to make up for lost school time. Still we had a little dusting of snow and while the kids were waiting to go into the classroom they decided to have a snowball fight outside. I must say that they made some pretty good sized snowballs too.

AT THE PARK

When the movie was done, we all headed over to Mimi's gymnastic's for a make-up class but I forgot that they would be closed today. So instead we all went to the local McDonald playland before it was time to head home. This picture was take after we had already brought Blake home and there was no one yet home at Zoe's house. Zoe's mom Shelley had plans to meet with her grandpa for lunch today and her dad was still at work so therefore Zoe hung out with us which is very okey dokey with us. We could only stay at the park for about 10 minutes since it was so darn cold at 5:00 this afternoon. Zoe and Mimi always have a blast together. So much so that when Mike (dad) came to pick her up from our house, I yelled to the girls upstairs "Zoe! Your dad is here to pick you up!" We then heard this sad, sad voice from above saying "ooohhh".

LUNCH AND A MOVIE

Today the kids had the day off from school because of "staff developement". So therefore I thought it would be a good idea to take Mimi and her friends to see a movie after her morning piano lessons. We got there a little early and everyone was a bit hungry so over to Johnny Rockets we went for a bite to eat. Everyone had a blast today. Nice way to spend a colllllld day inside.
