We invited one other foreign family over right after dinner for cake, and we invited some neighbors, people who see and play with Tobin every day.
This is one of Sophia's friends, but she knows and plays with Tobin too. Tobin loves to say her name 'LuBingHua'
Tobin received an awesome truck from the S family, given by sweet Annabelle.
she also gave him a precious kiss.
So, yes, all the gifts started coming out first. Bella found hers and gave it to him, nice wooden blocks with big screws and a wooden screwdriver.
He actually loves the bucket they came in better.
Sophia gave him these cool legos with windows and wheels, etc.
Next it was time for cake! Cupcakes. He was so surprised and loved the bear (we told him it was a bear and he believed us)
Two candles, ready to blow. We sang in Chinese first.
He blew out one candle and then got scared.
I blew the other out and he was okay.
and slowly he started to eat. The chocolate chip eyes first, and then the face....he actually did not make that big of a mess, surprisingly. He wanted to get back to the toys.
everyone else digs in....
At one point he started growling at his bear cupcake, this was hilarious.
Happy birthday Tobin. We love you!
