We just returned from 9 days in Sunny (and HOT) California! We had a great time as a family and visited Disneyland, Legoland and Universal Studios Hollywood. While we were there Madison celebrated her 8th birthday! She got a makeover at the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique and we made mini birthday cakes at the Plaza with Mr Pat-E-Cake!
The highlight of the trip was spending the day with Miah's friend
Tian from her orphanage in China. We have seen them once before, about 18 months ago. It is amazing to see how these girls just pick up from the last visit and carry on. They seem to have such a strong bond. They can be found holding hands, hugging and just being plain goofy and carefree with one another. They crack us up! Tian kept her given Chinese name and when she heard us calling Miah, she was quick to inform us that Miah's name was not Miah, but Fu Ni. I'm positive that they have memories of each other from China. They are two peas in a pod and I hope that they will stay life long friends with each other! We hope to see you all soon again! Come to Canada! (It's not that cold)
Looks like you all had a wonderful time! I bet Maddie will always remember her 8th birthday.
