Here Is The Birthday Girl!

Yep! This is our birthday girl! We had a great morning and afternoon! We started the morning giving Miss Briana a birthday card - which of course she liked the envelope better than the card - oh well! We had breakfast at the buffet and then our group first went to a Buddhist temple. It was so beautiful. And our guide Shirley set it up so the babies in our group were blessed by a Buddhist monk. It was so emotional for me - especially because it was Briana's birthday. Then we headed to a Chinese art museum. It was outside, which meant it was HOT. Muggy, sticky hot. Ugh. I was so happy when we ended the touring at a Jade and Pearl factory. Doug and I got Briana a pearl necklace and earrings.

Right before we left for touring, Doug and I got a free stroller for Briana to ride around in. She likes it and I am so grateful. I am starting to get sore from the Hip Hammock.

After touring, the group went to Lucy's restaurant to have a birthday lunch for Briana. Briana fell asleep as we strolled to the restaurant, but luckily she woke up to have a little apple pie! Doug bought candles before we left the states in case we got a cake for Briana. We even handed out paper tiaras for the babies to wear. It was so cute! Of course Briana was the only one who didn't want to wear her hat!

The day was very special even though we weren't home to celebrate. I am just so happy Doug and I could be with our baby girl on this special day.

Here are the pics!

All the babies were silent. Our guide Shirley said she had never seen that happen before!
