She Turned SEVEN

I have to take a moment away from 'travel blogging' to post about my little girl. My, how she is growing up! The years are flying oh-too-quickly and I yearn to stop time and hold onto each step along the way. At the same time, I cheer every growth and marvel in the young girl my firstborn is becoming.

Her Birthday:
She asked for a Scavenger Hunt Birthday. Lucky us, we have a clubhouse in our apartment complex - with a party room - and a play room - and a safe, gated community in which the kids could explore and scavenger for "treasures". Lucky for me, I have a creative husband who designed The Hunt.

one item - to sing a song from Frozen to me

another item - to learn a Chinese word from a guard

Back at home..
ABear got her first digital gadget. Yes, folks, we gave in to the technological world we live in. Seven isn't too young for Lep's World, Crossy Road, Katy Perry, and Monument Valley, right?

and Bunny quickly usurped Daddy's ipad for the occasion...

Thank you to aunties, uncles, and grandparents who sent presents from overseas!!!

Happy Birthday, Number One!
