My pretty little princess turned EIGHT years old today!
She's been home for 2.5 years and this was her third birthday with us.
I think she is finally getting the hang of this birthday thing...
There was definitely less prompting needed for her to blow out her candles and open her presents :)
This weekend also happens to be the Chinese holiday Mid-Autumn Moon Festival so yesterday we had a double celebration!
Pretty little girl with her beautiful BIG cake
Daddy had cake serving duty...
Audra wore one of her traditional qi pao dresses and a sweet little friend came dressed for the occasion too :)
Last year we released sky lanterns the traditional way...
by lighting a flame and watching them float away at dusk.
There may or may not have been a bit of a close call involving a lantern on fire...
So this year we opted for lanterns filled with helium balloons!
It worked just a well and was almost {but not quite} as pretty.
Today I got some precious photos of my birthday girl...
I love this one...it shows her true self!
She has been loving mooncakes this year. She ate one last year, but this year she can't get enough of them. She had one at the party last night, then had one for breakfast today, and at dinner time she wanted another!
This evening we celebrated with a tradition birthday cake:
She needed a little help to blow her candles out
But presents??...She's got that one on her own!
