On the day of Chan-Mi's birthday, everyone gathered at the biggest ballroom of the hotel. The entire venue was decorated with colorful paper lanterns, balloons, and sides had huge paintings of the birthday girl as she was growing up.
One side of the venue was dedicated only to Chan-Mi's first works of art. For a one-year-old, Cha-Mi's first paints were completely abstract, showing variations of colors with her hand-prints, sometimes with the use of a big brush.
Still, it was valuable to Yanmei because she could tell Chan-Mi had a talent for art. She could see it in how her daughter's eyes twinkled every time they had a painting activity at home.
The theme for her birthday was painting. Chan-Mi had a huge cake with various painting tools as part of its decorations. The event organizers also prepared a long table filled with desserts, frosted, or coated with rainbow-colored chocolate.
