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!
