New jammies, new glasses, a "Beauty" day!

What a great day we had!

We went to YiLi's first movie ever! Beauty and the Beast ! She talked and talked and talked (I mean to say this girl talked) right up until the movie started. I wasn't sure she knew she had to be quiet during the film. I didn't want to stifle her laugh, just her words! Anyway, I think people were touched by her innocent and sweet sounding giggle! We shared a giant popcorn and she loved it! She is usually very restrained regarding snacks, but she definitely kept up with us!

Then we shopped for a few things YiLi "needed" - sandals and jammies:

On the way home, we sang songs to each other, and this time YiLi could tell us what the Chinese songs were about! Of course, Daddy sang Beatles songs, YiLi sang what we think was the Chinese National Anthem, so, yeah, Rick and I had to follow with "The Star Spangled Banner". Let's just say that I'm sure glad nobody else was in the car!
Halfway home we saw what appeared to be pink stars in the sky - about 15 of them. Just when I was starting to ask myself if there really are UFO's, we approached the launching site. They looked to be some kind of lanterns that were being set off. YiLi could not see all of them but as we got closer, she saw at least one!
