Abby turned 7!

Abby's 7th birthday was 2/16!

(If you want to see newborn photos of her, scroll on back on the blog to 2006!)  :-)

David turned 5!

David celebrated his 5th birthday with us, and this was his first birthday to be recognized and celebrated!

We also celebrated Chinese new year a few days before his birthday!

The kids wore special outfits to church (that we bought while in China), and we had Chinese food for dinner.  We also did some Chinese themed crafts.

Next- birthdays! Ellie turned 3 in December
