A Birthday for Our Princess
HAPPY 9th Birthday to our newest little princess, Leiney Grace!
We always have a special breakfast on birthdays - wasn't quite sure what that would be for Leiney Grace! Breakfast has been the most difficult meal for her as she adjusts to our American diet. This birthday breakfast consisted of dumplings and oranges - just for Leiney Grace - no other takers on the dumplings!
Leiney Grace had a big surprise when we met the H family at the zoo today! Amy and her 5 kiddos helped us to celebrate Leiney Grace's birthday. We finished up our time together with a picnic and cupcakes! It was such a wonderful reunion.
Our 1st birthday with Leiney Grace happened to be her 9th birthday. It saddens me to think of all the special times we have missed in her life. Today, I put that thought out of my head, and we attempted to give our special princess a spectacular day - I think we succeeded!
