Caleb's Birthday

Hunter and Tanner got invited to Caleb's birthday party. They go to school together at the English Montessori with other kids from totally different cultural backgrounds. We love it! That's Hunter inthe middle wearing green.

Ever heard of Ex-Pat Kids' Birthday parties? Yes, they go ALL out, the same goes for Baby Showers. It's been said that's just the way it is out here, because people out here have their housing paid by their company, and have minimal other expenses. Check out the Clown, Professional Photographer, Full Lunch for the entire family etc. It was an absolute blast. After getting a "custom goodie bag" for each boy, I felt like we should've paid to get in!!


My favorite picture. There is only one other boy from the US at the b-day party. Here they are playing the Chinese version of Duck Duck Goose. Once again, Calton boys in green.


This was part of the relay race. Hunter and this cute girl had to run around a cone without dropping the balloon. That's me in the blue.


An imported pinata always tops off every party!!


This is Caleb, the Birthday boy. He's from Singapore. This is his cake, with fireworks for candles, really! Think sparklers, only tons clumped together. He even blew them out!

I have never been to such an "all out" party in China. Amazing!

Those look like some great parties. Nice diaper cake as well. I know the talents that you possess in that department first hand!

I saw one of those diaper cakes for the first time the other day and it was cute, but yours is absolutely gorgeous. What a great centerpiece. And holy cow, those guys know how to throw a party huh? Do you guys drive a car or do you have a moped. I want to see some more pictures of the area you live in.
