Miss Lili is 14 today. Wow. We're so proud of the young lady she is becoming.
Last night she played piano in the big theater on a Steinway Grand in the Music Festival Gala Show. She was so beautiful and played with such grace. I cried through the whole thing. Afterwards friends came over and we devoured the ice cream cake we had for Lili. Kai brag moment, he sat on the edge of his seat, hands clasped in his lap, sat still, no noises and clapped in the right spots. He was beyond amazing. We took two cars because we honestly had NO clue how it would go.
Today I got up and made cinnamon sticky buns for her wee celebration tonight.
Her choice was to eat at the Malahat Chalet without the littles. We made this plan long before Kai. I've been nervous all day to leave him with Gramma. When we left he was cuddled on the couch between Gramma and Grampa happily waving good bye to us.
Dinner was awesome. The view is amazing and the service is stellar. So nice to sit and visit in peace. We're on our way back now to have 'the party' with the littles.
