Happy Birthday Gramma!

Today we celebrated my Gramma's 84th birthday! I am so thankful she was able to visit from Michigan so we could celebrate her special day together. She is just an amazing woman, a woman after God's heart. Her influence in my life has been incredible. Her prayer's have impacted my life more than I will ever know. I am so thankful to God for allowing me to be her grandaughter. What an honor...


To celebrate, we walked through the beautiful Botanical Gardens, enjoyed lunch outside on the patio as a live band played, and we toasted our wine glasses to Gramma!

Parties!

Yesterday was a fun-filled day of parties! We started out at the Hanson's for our CNY party. The girls all dressed in their traditional Chinese dresses and we enjoyed yummy Chinese food! The girls had lot's of fun playing together. Thanks Suz, Dan, and Caroline for opening your home to us! We are so blessed to have met such amazing friends along our journey to Lauren.



We then did a dress change and swept Cinderella off to her ball! :) It was Holly's 3rd birthday and we had SO much fun dancing, laughing, playing, etc!


Just my type of princess...not afraid to get dirty :)



The Princes of the ball... :)



Daddy about fell over seeing Lauren in her Cinderella "Wedding" dress. :)



Happy Birthday Holly!! You are such a special girl! Thanks for inviting us to your party!!

Happy New Year~Year of the Rabbit!

We visited our friends at Tao* Kitchen Restaurant for dinner tonight and the girls all came over to wish Lauren a Happy New Year in Mandarin and then gave her this very special gift! It's a red envelope with $10 of "Lucky Money"! We have so much fun every time we visit this place and practice our Chinese as they practice their English with us.

Saturday we are celebrating CNY at the Hanson's, I'll post more pics then of all the girls together! Happy Year of the Rabbit everyone! I will be enjoying every second of the year with my little Fire Pig. :)
