Birthdays and strange cakes

Today is a special day because it is Abigails birthday.  She will be turning 6.  After we ate breakfast  I went with Mr. Andy and took the girls to the bus stop so they could go to school.  I walked back from the bus stop with Mr. Andy and we did the Bible with each other.  We read in Psalms about how you can hold your anger in and not let it out.  After a short nap, I went on a walk with Mr. Andy.   We walked around the neighborhood then headed to the movie store where I bought a movie for Abigail's birthday.

On this day I also got to have lunch at each of the girls schools.  I felt a little awkward because I didnt know anyone.  The food was some kind of noodles.  Lindsey eats what the school serves but you can bring your own food. 

After lunch we went on a search for a birthday cake for Abigail.  We had to go to four different stores because Mr. Xu thought we were looking for a different kind of cake, like a coffee cake.  We finally got him to understand it was a birthday cake that we wanted.  We finally found a birthday cake but it was different from what our birthday cakes are like here.  It was round with crackers on the edges and fruit on top.  The inside was sort of soft and chocolaty.  

 Once we found our cake, we went and picked up the girls from school .  We headed to an arcade for 1 hour and went home to eat some pizza.  After dinner, Abigail celebrated her birthday with the cake and opening presents.  She liked her movie and she also got a Barbie that she liked.  This was a tiring day.

  1. I'm wondering the same thing - what made the cake strange? It is so much fun that you got to be there to celebrate Abigail's birthday. I bet that made her feel special too. Love you most!
