Cecelia is SEVEN this year.  I can hardly believe it!  This year she wanted a Chinese New Year Theme Slumber Party.  We braved 8 girls, 2 boys, and her sisters until 10.  After that 3 went home and the rest fought sleep until 11.  We did Tangrams, Chinese name writing, and pin the tail on the dragon (Grandpa Dale made the cool dragon!).  Weeks before we went to Jay's International on South Grand and bought many decorations and authentic foods.  Cecelia decorated the basement beautifully.  We indulged in pot stickers, stir fry, Lychee, dried squid, pure sugarcane, and a 2 headed dragon cake (made by mom).
