Birthday Girl

Happy 3rd birthday to our dearest C-bao!

C-Mum took C-bao to pick out her cake from her favorite bakery, Schubert's. Naturally C-bao zoned in quickly on their chocolate and nut confection, the Opera Cake.

A modest but happy celebration ensued in the evening. Below you can see sister K-bao offering up her best wishes through cards, hugs and songs.

More extensive celebrations to come later this summer!

Happy Birthday to DGG

C-bao and sister K-bao wish a very Happy Birthday to Aunt Esther a.k.a. Da Goo-Goo.

C-bao sings enthusiastically and also has a few words of thanksgiving - borrowed liberally from sister K-bao's script - to offer her lovely aunt.

One thing DGG has always prioritized is the girls' spiritual growth, and most of the children's Bible stories and similar books around the house were birthday and Christmas gifts from DGG. Here sister K-bao shows viewers one such gift.

HB to Uncle James

The first order of business on this Asia trip was, of course, to wish Shu-Shu a.k.a. Uncle James a very Happy Birthday.

Both K-bao and C-bao are big fans of Shu-Shu. "Is Shu-Shu going to be there?" is usually the first one or two questions the girls ask when told of an impending family gathering.

So it was no surprise that they elbowed each other out of the way in their eagerness to serenade their uncle. C-bao in particular was aggressive about singing alone to make sure her voice was heard.
