We have yet another reason to celebrate in the month of December now...Joseph's birthday! Our little guy turned 3 this year and we had such fun celebrating with him! To start the day, Mr. Xu showed up early bringing two gifts for Joseph - a Transformer action figure and also a cake! Not sure if Mr. Xu knew we had been looking for a cake the day before (without any luck as usual) - suspecting he did as he is usually one step ahead of our plans! It was amazingly sweet of him and can we just say that in China everyone loves Hello Kitty - so I'm sure a Hello Kitty cake for a 3 year old boy is perfectly normal!! After some fun with his first action figure, it was off to the aquarium....sharks, sting rays, turtles, jellyfish, enjoyed them all except the section where there was a 'fake' thunderstorm (that part wasn't cool!). And for lunch - what other than Josephs's favorite - hamburgers! Unwrapping presents...what great excitement as he opened each one! Fun to buy boy's toys too...swords (good for balance!), cars and cash register! What a precious gift he is to us!
We also were celebrating as Andy crossed the finish line at the Shanghai Marathon this month. 4 hours flat...his personal record and personal goal since he started running races! Persistence & patience...oh and lots of training...finally paid off!
Tell him Happy Birthday.:)
