Today we held the 1-year birthday party for Mei (who I've been mistakenly calling Meihui and who is actually Minhui, which is confusing because our group's nurse's name is Minhua). We gave her presents and got her a cake!
Joyce, Linda, and I were very happy to manage to scrounge enough wrapping paper out of our supplies (which we had for cermonial gifts to officials as part of the adoption process) to be able to wrap our gifts for Mei. Except that we ran out of tape, so Linda's gift ended up wrapped, but hermetically sealed in a Ziploc bag.
We held the party at the Cantonese restaurant next to the hotel to which Joyce, Linda, Juliet, and I have been going for the last few dinners. I have no further data about the price of the meal, because Paul (Tara's dad) sneaked off with the check before any of us noticed. Paul turns out to be more Chinese than he looks.
While Mei's first year of life has ended on a distinctly positive note, I predict that her second year will be worlds better than her first.
