We had a great day with beautiful weather for Danny and Alivia's birthday party. I cannot believe that at the end of October it is in the 80s. As the two are such good friends, have all the same friends, and their birthdays are just a couple days apart, Lindsay and I decided it would be fun to celebrate together. We had the party at Lindsay and Joel's house as they live in a house with a yard compared to our apartment. Our goal was to keep the kids between the backyard and the kitchen for snacks. It worked out great! We had some relay games, the package game (like hot potato, but when it stops you get to open a layer of the package and get a little gift), a scavenger game, and then a pinata. The kids and parents alike had a great time. The craziest was the pinata and watching them go at it. We had little ones like Josh (he was so excited to take a swing while I held him) and then a little older kids that were already 5. The 5 year olds were amazing at hitting it. We asked everyone to forego gifts and have their children make cards for both Alivia and Danny, and these were so neat. The children were all really creative and we have great keepsakes from all his friends here in China.
After the party we headed back to our house and opened presents (from Dustin and I) and watched a movie while eating pizza.
Overall, a great day with all our friends here in China.
