I have very sneaky friends!!!!!!!!!!


On most Fridays, Lily and I go to a play group with a group of wonderful mom's and their daughters all adopted from China. This past Friday, I offered to host the playgroup at my house, but also extended the invitation to some moms and babes who have just arrived home.

People started showing up, and everyone had a gift bag in their hand.. hmmmm very strange..
I actually thought, "wow, these people are so nice bringing each other welcome home gifts!"
Then little Rachel came, and handed me a bunch of balloons that had "Happy 4th Birthday" on them! I look at them and said, "whose birthday???" Her mom said.. Hanlin's!! Aww, I said to Angela, your a much nicer mother than me!! I didn't even bake a cake for him!!"
She just laughed!

We all went inside and Angela put the cake she cake made on the table! I choked up when I read it! But I still didn't clue in!!!! It took me almost an hour to realize that they had organized an surprise birthday for Hanlin! As I opened the boy toys I started to get overwhelmed, it is so hard not having him here! But I know he is being well loved! His foster family took him to the zoo for his birthday and he liked the monkeys the best! LOL

I am so lucky to have the nicest bunch of friends! Your thoughtfulness was truly overwhelming!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
