From Grits to Chopsticks

Even though we live abroad most of the year, this year gave us the special treat of celebrating both of our grandsons’ birthdays in the States!  Since the youngest, Sam, has a fascination with construction vehicles…… our daughter made him a construction vehicle cake (also, notice the pajamas):Elijah enjoys watching Super Mario, so he chose this theme for his birthday:We’re now back in China, but before we returned, we were able to pose for this Chinese New Year pic (in case you don’t know, it’s the “year of the monkey”)We’ll miss family, but we’re very thankful for the time we had together!
