Soon thereafter was Emanuel&#8217;s special day and his celebratory dinner was presential since we are neighbors and Jo and Ben were able to attend. Thank God for such blessing! Last, but not least, Philip and Gabriel woke up very early for the second time so that we could wish Philip a very Happy Day on his side of the planet!<br>All in all, we are getting older, and hopefully wiser, and that is a very good thing! \ud83d\ude09<br>Chinese New Year&#8217;s Eve fell on the last day of the month!
