The Last Sunday: Birthday Party

Although So-Yun's birthday isn't until February 9th, we decided to have a birthday party yesterday.  It was a fantastic event.  Plenty of her classmates in attendance, 2 host parents, and some of my family and friends.

Her "American Party" was filled with popular K-Pop hits, streamers, silly string, frisbees, board games, bubbles, balloons, pizza, ice cream, and cake.  One of the host moms/teacher showed the kids how to make a pinata.  That was a first for them.  It was quite hilarious watching them as they watched the blind-folded student holding the bat, undoubtedly swinging at the air.

She received several gifts.  The question all the adults had was, "How is she going to get this stuff home?"
It was a very long day, but well worth it.

At the end of the night she came to my room and said that when we got home she was so happy that she cried......Awwwwwwwwwwww!!!!

She was so thankful and appreciative for all that was done.

At bedtime all of the girls were in bed with me.  We made silly faces, Naysia blew bubbles, and the chickadees talked about their island.  When asked if they were ready to go home, in unison they answered no.

Eventually they made their way across the hall....only to return a few minutes later.  They wanted to sleep with us!!!!  I let them have my bed and I went to the couch.

This morning they were all 3 on the couch with me.  Can't stay away from Momma Reeka's love :)
