I’m very popular and have an extremely busy social calendar. As a case in point, take this past weekend’s festivities. We kicked off Saturday with a birthday party at Keely’s house. As soon as I walked in, there were 10 other girls there that started screaming and hugging all over the place! We ran right up stairs and started playing hide and seek and tag and watching High School Musical and dancing crazy around Keely’s room. Then, the Silly Safari show started and we got to see a baby alligator, a legless lizard, a ferret, a blue tongued skink, a baby bunny, a tortoise, a frog, and lots of other crazy animals. I touched mostly all of them but my favorite was the frog because he climbed up my arm. It tickled! After the show, we had cake and ice cream. The icing was made of Laffy Taffy!
We’re not done yet! All of the girls from the first party packed up and headed over to the pool at the Comfort Inn for Sydney’s party! We ran right in the door and jumped in the pool. I started swimming and playing with all of the girls. We had a big beach ball and the boys took it and kept playing Keep-Away. Swimming works up an appetite, so we ate another cake! Sydney opened all of her gifts and then it was time to come home. We were pretty tired from all of the excitement, so we hit the hey early Saturday night to rest up for the big game on Sunday.
Update: This morning (Monday), I lost another tooth. It is my left front tooth, so now I have a gap in my smile. Daddy says I look cute!

We had to run a few errands today, including a trip to Colts-crazy Costco. But, we got to have a pretty fun lunch at Benihana! That is the place where they cook on your table and the guy flips things around and says funny stuff. I got to eat shrimp and rice, Momma had steak, Parker had chicken, and they forgot to cook Daddy’s (it was called sushi, but I call it “squishy”).

I hope you have a super day today, Poppa!
Today was my 3rd swim meet…and it was doosey! We got to C’ville High School at a little after noon, and the place was packed to the rafters…literally! Some of the events had 70 kids, so even though my even was only the 9th of the day, we were there for about 3 hours before I raced. It was worth it, though, because I rocked my 50 Backstroke. I shaved more than 8 seconds off of my last time and broke the 1 minute mark! Check me out:
The best part was, the whole crew was there to see it! And when I say everyone, I mean everyone. It was Mema, Gigi, Poppa, Aunt Carrie, Uncle Manata, Riley, Taylor, and of course Mommy, Daddy, and Parks.
It was also the first time I swam the 50 Free, so I now have a benchmark time to compare to going forward. Pepa and TC were able to make that event and officially put the stands at over-capcaity, especially in the “Cheering for Morgan Lee” section.
After the meet, we packed in our snow covered cars and made our way down the street to the C’ville B-Dubs to celebrate Poppa’s birthday. Poppa opened his presents just before we chowed down on our usual favorites. Then, the best part…chocolate cake, courtesy of Aunt Carrie, Riley, and Taylor. We also sugared the sweet tooth with some special cookies covered with chocolate that Gigi helped Parker and I make during our 2 hour delay yesterday. All in all, a pretty full day…in more ways than one. Thanks to everyone for making it out to see my swim meet…it was great to have you all cheering for me!
Momma and Daddy would like to take this opportunity to thank Mema, Pepa, Gigi, and Poppa for making two trips to Lebanon to deliver their Christmas presents….a new kitchen table with 8 chairs (Let’s also not forget the 4 new serving plates)!
Also, thank you to Mema and Pepa for hosting Parks and me on Monday when Momma and Daddy had to go do grown up things!
2009 we’re sad to see you go…lots of great memories, but we can’t wait to see what 2010 has in store for the Lebanon Lawsons!
