Happy Birthday, Miao!!

Happy birthday, sweet girl!!

Our daughter celebrated her 13th birthday this week, on Wednesday, June 23! We were celebrating with her, 1/2 way around the world. In her honor, we celebrated with a pink cake, pink & white balloons, Hello Kitty napkins & plates and gifts to be opened when she comes home.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEET GIRL! NEXT YEAR, WE WILL BE CELEBRATING TOGETHER, AS A FAMILY!!!

Love,
Mom, Dad, Sterling & Justin
