November 9th was Hallie's 10th birthday. It is really hard to believe that she is 10. It seems like just yesterday she was a baby. We gave her a cell phone for her birthday this year. She was thrilled! I actually wrapped the empty box and we hid the phone behind the pillows on the couch. We were going to call it when she opened the present. However, Jon had entered her number in his phone incorrectly. It would have been funny to have the phone ring. Oh well. She was still very excited! Now she has a new way to tattle on her brother and sister. We went out with out the kids (the ayi stayed with them) and she texted us to tell us something the younger ones had done.
Hallie picked this butterfly cake out of a decorating book that we have here. She really liked it, and enjoyed helping decorate it.
The weekend after her birthday, she had a slumber party. She invited her BFF Bliss and another American, Michaela. Bliss lives near us. Michaela is from the Chicago area but lives here in Hangzhou. She goes to Bliss's school and Hallie met her at the Halloween party. They were instant friends.
The girls watched movies, painted their nails, ate more cake, and played on the computer. They also stayed up until past 4:30! I know because their giggling woke me up again at 4:30. Poor Bliss had to get up and leave a little past 7.
They had a blast!!
