The family that I work with at church was so sweet this past Sunday!:) They brought Chin Chin birthday gifts!:) She got a pink and black shirt with an animated girl on the front, a blue shirt with Hannah Montana on the front and a little teddy bear that can fit in the palm of your hand that Tracy (the mom) made!:) Chin Chin waited for me to open her gifts in the car and the happy little girl screams, screeches and happy sounds she made the whole way home as she opened them and looked them over were priceless! We Americans take so for granite when someone remembers our birthday, like we expect it. SHAME ON US!!! I can't imagine not even having my birthday acknowledged almost 18 years of my life! Every time she receives a gift of any kind she is like a young child getting their first gift! It's so awesome to watch her face lite up but my heart breaks for her because I know what she's been through and I understand just even remembering her birthday means the world to her! She must of held the shirts to herself and in front of her a million times on the way home to look at them, grinning ear to ear and squealing happily and exitedly! And she carefully looked over the bear like she was examining every inch and stitch of it! The 2 older girls Ada who is 8 and Sophie who is 6 always pick out and very carefully I might add my gifts and by the colors of the shirts I was pretty convinced Ada had picked out the Hannah Montana shirt because her favorite color is blue!:) And I was pretty convinced Sophie picked out the pink shirt because her favorite color is pink but I was wrong! The second to the youngest, Bree who is 4 years old picked them out by Ada and Sophie approved them!:) Great job girls!:) I will try and post pictures soon!:)
