Being back in the States allowed Jane to have not only a party with friends, but a party with family.
Jane missing Hong Kong wanted a Mid-Autumn Festival themed party.
We did our best and added some Asian touches.
 |
| Would You Eat this? Seaweed, red bean jelly and the Koala cookies filled with strawberry creme, that we often got at 7-11 in HK. Everyone spit out the red bean. Elliot finished off the rest of uneaten seaweed. |
 |
| Hang baos I had brought back from HK we made into tiny lanterns. |
 |
| Jane taught some Chinese, when the girls decided to play school. |
 |
| The food I did offer some sandwiches(not pictured) |
 |
| Ice cream Sundaes were for dessert instead of cake. |
 |
 |
| Jane wanted to play pass the parcel. Although not Chinese, a game she learned from friends in Hong Kong. |
 |
| She made up a scavenger hunt game. |
 |
| Dress up! |
Family Party
 |
| My friend made these delicious "Tangled theme" lemon cupcakes. |
 |
| My parents and sister. |
 |
| Nathan's parents were up from Tennessee. It was a rare treat to have everyone there. |
 |
| Benjamin is very interested in cousin Jane's gifts |
 |
| Aunt Chas |
 |
| Jane with "Caroline" her American Girl Doll a gift from her grandparents. |

What a great idea to have Mid Autumn - themed party for the girl born in autumn:)
Happy birthday, dear Jane!
Happy Birthday to Jane!! Its so nice to see that she has not forgotten HK. Love the fact that she wanted a mid-Autumn festival theme and love all your little touches - the red bean, the seaweed and the hong bao lanterns. Most of all the fact that she organised a Chinese class amidst it all - lovely handwriting! Keep in touch X
