Happy B-day to Tami (one of my awesome BFFs) and her daughter Lindsey. We met them when Cee was starting to dance hula @ Hula Halau 'O Lilinoe with Tami's other daughter Megan. That was almost 7 years ago. Megan decided to focus on her true passion - ballet. Plus her dad, David is the Artistic Director for the Long Beach Ballet. This year, Megan was chosen to be a participant in the United States Ballet Ambassadors to China. The selected group of 35 dancers will be on a performing tour in China during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Megan - 恭喜 Gong Xi (congratulations)!!!

Just FYI - The performance of The Nutcracker at the Terrace Theater in December is definitely a MUST-SEE.

Have a TEErific B-day & China adventure!!!
