Sunday we celebrated Lydia's 2nd Birthday! Above she is wearing a new dress and her new dress up shoes (on the wrong feet)!
Sunday evening we had some friends over to swim and eat pizza.
Many families are out of town during this time of year due to school being out. And several of Lydia's friends from church have been sick. So we had a mostly grown-up crowd. There were two of Lydia's friends and three little babies.
But Lydia seems to have no problem with age difference. She has more fun playing with the adults that then kids sometimes. :) Above is Ka Hing. He and his wife Ju Li are in our cell group and go to our church. Ka Hing is a big kid!! So much fun!
And this is our friend Phyli. She is wonderful with our girls!
This is BK throwing Lydia in the air and Yong Yi to the right enjoying Elli. These guys head up our Bible Studies every Friday night. They are a blessing to be around and to have in our lives!
Kristy found the perfect dress for Lydia...
It has elephants on it and a little purse. She found it in Thailand!
Lydia enjoyed her chocolate birthday cake for a few minutes and then put it down when she spotted an orange. Who else would turn down chocolate cake for an orange??
Our cell group also helped us celebrate Elli's Full Moon. It is a Chinese tradition to celebrate the life of a child when the baby reaches one month. They brought red eggs and tortoise shells. The red eggs are hard boiled eggs died red, which signifies life and happiness. The tortoise shells have a jelly/cakey outer shell molded in a turtle shell mold with green bean sweet paste inside. They symbolize long life.
It was a special day all around! Sharon, our professional photographer friend took some pics at the party. We don't have those quite yet, but I thought these could hold you over.
