Smile....it's Happy Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year just kind of crept up on me. Last year, we had the whole family over, made decorations, and even tried our hand at making some Chinese cuisine on our own. I even put the girl in her silks and snapped photos of her standing by our Chinese treasures, and a basket of oranges.

This year, I got started early, finding ideas on pinterest and hoping to do it up good this year. I even looked at the Atlanta chapter of families with Chinese children to see when their big celebration is....only to discover it's this coming weekend, when we will be out of town for  AdvoCare Success School.

BUT this year, the best we could do as for as celebrations go, was just stop by the Chinese restaurant after church. We were not near our favorite Chinese place, and just pulled into another one of the same name. WE assumed these restaurants might be affiliated with the same type good food, but we were deceived. I snapped a photo or two to commemorate the day even though the food was not as good as our favorite place.

Snapped at the restaurant...she was looking at the menu and telling us that she needed won ton soup. When the waitress arrived to take our orders she was not Chinese, but rather a young lady with no front teeth. This waitress immediately made an impression on my girl, who I secretly thinks wants to become a dentist. My girl is very fascinated with teeth, the mouth, lips, she even tries to floss our teeth. That's got to be a dentist in the making if you desire to floss other people's teeth...but I digress..I wonder if her fascination with the mouth is due to her own cleft palate issues.

Baby girl, immediately asks me and rather loudly,"What happened to the girl's teeth, momma?' Did she lose her teeth, they're gone!" I tried to shush her to no avail. I simply agreed with her and said yes they're gone. (referring to the teeth). When the waitress left with our drink orders, she continued to ask me about the missing teeth. I told Jolie,"Yes her two front teeth are gone, but we are not going to talk about it, because that could hurt her feelings?" and she didn't mention it anymore until we got to the car.

AND dad just said that's what happens when you don't brush your teeth, you get silvers or they fall out. Usually, at night when baby girl doesn't want to brush, we say ok, you're gonna get more silvers in your mouth, and she rushes to brush, now we have more ammunition. Silvers and no front teeth.

SO if you want to go to the Chinese place for lunch, and the waitress has no front teeth, don't take my daughter with you. She wants everyone to have pearly whites and no silvers. 

WATCH out She might bring you some FLOSS!

Mail for a Princess

As we all know Jolie is in love with the Disney Princesses. In fact, you might recall that she thinks her momma is Cinderella. It's her story and she's sticking to it, and she thinks Daddy is Prince Charming. Who can't love that?

Anyway, of course she received the Cinderella dvd for Christmas. The other day she opened the dvd package and pulled out all of the ads inside. AND we realized that we could send off for a Cinderella charm bracelet for free. SO, she bugged Dad, I mean, Prince Charming until he placed the order.

She started asking had it arrived in the mailbox the very next day. It did take a few days but it finally arrived. Excitement filled her face.

Shek handed her the package and she opened in the car. He also took her reaction photos for me with the phone since I was driving. I am sure there's some kind of law about driving and turning completely around to snap photos of your cute children. SO I train the kids to capture  the moments. They now know that anything and everything is blog material, and we need to photograph those moments as they happen.

This is a precious little Cinderella charm bracelet fit for our princess, and when ya momma is Cinderella, you just have to have the princesss Jewelry to go with the title!
