Let the birthday party pictures begin!!!

The party of the season is over and our celebrations are finally winding down around here. I think the party was a huge success and the girls had so much fun! I must say I am exhausted and kind of looking forward to getting on with other things. But we did have a blast! For the next few days, I will be posting some of my favorite pictures. I have so many and am still waiting on a memory card with more from a friend. She said there were some really great ones on it. For now, I am starting out with some preparty pictures of Linzi and her Wuwei sister, Lindsay. It meant so much to us that our friends from Chattanooga drove for 2+ hours each way to spend the afternoon with Linzi. Lindsay and Linzi were in the same SWI together and when I see them together, I am quite sure they have known each other their whole lives! Every time they are together, the bond is undeniable. Here is Linzi surrounded by the friends she plays with all the time and some who she has known since she came home. But she only had eyes for Lindsay. They were inseparable the entire time. So very sweet! The more we see them together, the more we realize just how special and real this bond is. We have a very strong Red Thread connection with this family and I am quite sure that it was all part of God's design for us to meet so that our girls can have this special friendship.

I will have more pictures on Thursday. Tomorrow, Linzi and I are very excited to have coveted reservations at the American Girl Bistro with Debbie and LiLi. We can't wait to see you guys!
