I was going to scrap a bunch of pictures and put them on the blog and I still might do that but no time soon. So just going to get some pictures up. Above is the store bought cake with a few added decorations. Julia really liked the Tink candle -- it may be on my birthday cake this weekend of Julia gets her way.
Julia did the loveliest thing after we all sang happy birthday to her. She blew out the big Tinker Bell candle and then she invited all of her friends to blow out the rest of the candles with her. I remember that when she first came home, she really couldn't blow out candles -- didn't know how and didn't have the lung strength -- so we might have all blown out candles but surely she has done it herself since that time. Whatever she asked her friends to help and to make wishes with her.
Julia really liked opening presents but she was gentle doing it was was very sweet to Fiona -- the younger sister of one of Julia's classmates -- who had a great time invading Julia's space.
These are the party girls! What I really love about this picture is that it reminds me so much of out red courch pictures when Julia and her China sisters get together. The original red couch picture is taken in China on one of the red couches at the White Swan Hotel. There are some lovely red couch pictures but ours, like many, many others was full of crying babies, squirming babies, and kids not looking at any of the dozen cameras flashing at them. And here we are, the same kid of picture -- albeit not with crying babies -- of our party girls.
This is one of the games that we bought her. The girls all loved this one and almost as soon as it was opened, it was played! Julia was very impressed that her friends liked the game -- I think it was a real boost to playing the game when friends are not here.
My beautiful birthday girl with her Chinese hair, her favorite hair ribbons, and a star crown with ribbons. What fun.
After te party, Julia and I visited David and opened her last three presents. We shared the last bit of Julia's birthday cake and left on of the presents in the hospital to play with when next Julia came to visit.
At the end of the day, Julia hung her crown and ribbons on a hook in the bathroom and settled into a soft warm bed. It was a good birthday.

Truly,
this looks like the best party ever!
And especially the red couch picture, and the girl of three 'invading' Julia's space.
The picture with David was incredible, too.
I also liked when Julia invited the girls to blow the candles together.
Happy Birthday Julia!
