Austin was so excited to FINALLY be celebrating his birthday. I say finally because we have only been counting down since umm....last August 14th. Imagine the concern when you tell a four year old he only has to wait 364 days until he turns 5!!! But we finally made it!!!
We may not have family here in China to celebrate our birthdays with but we have the next best thing, incredible friends! My hope is that our children will be able to remember some of their wonderful friends and some of the amazing experiences they have had with them.
This is what two three year olds look like when cake and ice cream are placed in front of them with no begging, screaming or tantrum necessary! You can almost read Ethan's mind! Try getting there attention now! Man did they score big!!............ If only life stayed that simple!
After cake and ice cream the kids decided it would be a good idea to open presents! Austin had been asking to open them all day but in the end patiently waited until dad arrived and the party ended! Overall, I think he was very happy so we will go ahead a check birthday number 5 off as a success. How many more days until he turns 6?
