Today is....

MY BIRTHDAY!!

We started celebrating yesterday. Matt and the girls went shopping for gifts at the largest store in town (which is pretty much a glorified convenience store). Lydia picked out a diet coke and fruit flavored mentos. Julianna chose two pencils and a roll of hard candy.

It's the thought that counts.

Matt snapped these photos of the gift wrapping session.





After supper we enjoyed cupcakes and the girls opened my presents.


This morning we are off to church, then bringing the children home for an afternoon and evening with Xiao Li and her husband while Matt and I go for a short hike (if the weather cooperates) and dinner out on the town!

The fun continues into Monday when we head to a local park for a morning of play with some great friends.


Note Lydia holding her (whoops, I mean MY) birthday present. Funny how that concept is so tricky for little ones!

Well, Julianna just came out to give me a Good-Morning-Happy-Birthday hug. Yay!
