Happy Birthday Hsin-Hua

Today has been the most wonderful, happy and amazing day of our lives.

Hsin-Hua is asleep peacefully in her crib and we are EXHAUSTED.

We wanted to post a quick picture of Hsin-Hua's birthday party today...and we will post all the details and all the pics (there are a LOT) when we wake up in the morning.

Oh...and by the way...this baby DOES smile. A LOT!!! Who knew?

Right after we blew out the #1 candle.

The smiling happened AFTER she had some of her birthday cake :-)

Goodnight and we'll post more tomorrow.

Love,

Paul, Heather and Hsin-Hua
