Shepherd's Field was kind enough to pick out a cake for our baby girl, and had a little 'cake party' for Thea to celebrate her birthday with her. We were sent many photos from the party...so very grateful for these...it is so wonderful seeing all the kids enjoying the cake so much. All but Thea that is...lol...we were told that she had just woken up from her nap....she kind of looked like she wasn't sure what to make of the whole ordeal...but she sure looked cute in her birthday crown! In order to respect the children's privacy, I've only posted the pictures of just Thea.
She looks so tiny in this picture!
We were told that her ayi had to help her blow out the candle
as she didn't know what to do :)
I love the look on her face here...
'What are you trying to put in my mouth??'
The cake came out of her nose because her palate is still open...
something we will need to get used to until after her surgery.
We had some friends join us tonight for a fun get together and little birthday celebration for Thea too...her big brothers did the honour of blowing out the candle on her birthday cake!
Happy 1st Birthday xiaoyang!
We sure wish we could be there to celebrate this very special day with you. May God shower His blessings upon you baby girl. We pray that you will know Him and seek Him at a very young age. We feel very lucky and blessed that we get to be your forever family...we love you so much already and can't wait to hold you in our arms! Enjoy your special day xiaoyang! We are so excited that we will be there to meet you and bring you home in just 2 short weeks!
Lots and lots of love and blessings,
Mommy, Daddy, and your 2 big brothers

So very exciting. what an amazing blessing it has been to receive pictures and be able to send Thea presents and know she is receiving them. Praying for peace and energy over the next two weeks.
She looks like such a sweetheart! Glad you will be with her in two weeks! So exciting!!!
Thank you for "fixing" your blog must have checked 50 times to see the new pictures. I can't wait until your home.
What sweet photos of your precious baby!!! How wonderful to know you are SO close to traveling!!! What house does Thea live in? Our son is in the House of Peace. Blow a kiss into the wind while you are there in hopes it will land on his face... praying you all there and home!!!
Blessings and love!
