Today has been a fun day for Mia!  Well, she probably would have preferred not to get her booster shots the morning of her birthday, but we had to get them over with.  Afterward we had a nice, long visit with Grandma Nikodem.  Grandma was having a good day, and Mia even had a chance to play with Millie when Aunt Mimi brought Grandma's groceries over.  Then we went and had a lunch date with Dad.  When we came home, I was expecting Mia to zonk out for naptime. (I kept her awake in the van the whole way home from south county by singing to her... I'm not a good singer, but I didn't want her to fall asleep and ruin her naptime!)  Grandpa had a surprise waiting for us when we got home!  Great-Grandma Collier's cedar hope chest!  He had it refinished as a gift for Mia's 1st birthday... and boy, was I ever surprised!  I think about Grandma often and miss her lots and lots, and now Mia has something to treasure for a long, long time.  We are excited about Mom Mom and Grandma coming by for a visit later tonight.  I'm hoping Mia is still awake when Daddy comes home so he can finish putting together her present and maybe she can play with it for a little bit!  No cake tonight... we're saving that for her party on Saturday.  I'll be sure to post some pictures of her special day later!
