Its everyone’s birthday in Chen Zhou!

Yesterday afternoon, for the last few hours of the day, we got a cake from the same bakery and brought it to the kids and nannies. They then sang happy birthday in Chinese and English. It was so cute to hear their high pitched voices and their pronunciation of English words. I guess it was everybody’s birthday celebration yesterday. I almost preferred it that way, because then everyone could share in the excitement. 

I've never seen a child eat cake as fast as the kids at Chen Zhou. It was awesome how excited they were. Cake is a huge treat and luxury for them.

 And quite a change from the normal rice and vegetable mixture they eat every day. And we gave them juice along with it. They were so surprised that I thought their eyes might pop out of their heads!

 Now I get why mom used to love giving us gifts.  Its fun for us to see them having fun and enjoying it!
