Ni Hao Y'all

when east meets south

what Poppy wants…

Poppy gets.

At least for today.



Because today is her birthday.



But shhhhhh.

Don’t tell her.



The party is set for Friday night.

So we have to wait until then to really spoil her.



Today we hit the Mart and bought balloons, ice-cream cake supplies, party favors, and pink candles.

And pretty much anything Poppy wanted.



Which equaled two new sippy cups and a cup of popcorn chicken.



If only her wish list would be this short – and total less than $7 – when she’s a teenager.

Can’t wait to celebrate our precious Poppy’s big day.

  34. Happy Birthday, Poppy!!
    What a MAJOR difference in her expression now that she is home with her family! She is almost unrecognizable from the shy, scared girl she was in China.

    Beautiful photos!

  41. I am a reader and followed your journey to get Poppy. My heart went out to you when she was so sad in those first few weeks. But now………she smiles in every picture and looks to be truly happy with her new family. It warms my heart! You are all so blessed. Thanks for sharing your family!
