We had a New Year’s Day party at Grandma and Grandpa’s house and I was happy to see a lot of familiar faces from last night’s New Year’s Eve party. They are family friends and get together every year. It has been a tradition for years, more than a dozen years at least. I’m glad to be a part of it.
Once again we had a lot of fun! So much fun that we forgot to take pictures. I was well behaved and mingled as much as a little toddler can mingle. I was around and among everyone but did not directly interact with anybody except for family.
Our friends were impressed with how big I was. We were all surprised to find out that I was nearly the same weight as one of their little girls who was nearly four-years-old. They asked if I was a good eater and everyone answers with an emphatic “yes”!
After dinner it is a tradition to play some games. I tried to participate but because I didn’t understand I kind of got in the way. But I did my part because my game card was lucky and Mommy won quite a bit off of it.




Daddy took me to the other room to watch some videos so that I wouldn’t mess up anyone’s cards.



I had a great time being around everyone and wandering around the house and observing people. But just like last night, it was getting late and I had to go to bed. So I said goodnight to everyone and headed into the bedroom. But not before a couple of pictures with Mommy and Daddy. It was the last even of our trip and my smile showed how much fun this trip has been. I had the best time ever! It was a great end to 2022 and a wonderful start to 2023!


I went to bed, but wasn’t quite ready to go to sleep. I eventually did fall asleep with many great memories of my first holiday trip to Grandma and Grandpa’s house in Hawaii!
