Hard to believe that my child is another year older. The time has flown by quickly and another round of celebrations were underway. The precursory cupcake delivery to school to celebrate with his classmates was the official kick off. Matthew's classmate Kelvin also shared in the celebration since it was his birthday as well. Matthew made a call back to the US to wish his cousin Justin a "Happy Birthday" since they were born 12 hours apart. We then continued the party at home with a chocolate fudge cake complete with milk chocolate frosting.
Of course, those who know us, know that the party doesn't stop there. We celebrated Matthew's birthday in style at the Westin Hotel overlooking the Bund. The usual suspects attended- Ina, Rainer, Rene, Alice, Anne, Tony and Amy. Great food, lots of cake and sugar to spread around. Who said we can't share? We'll probably continue this party down in Hong Kong when we get there next weekend. Another round of eating with our family and friends. Alice will be in Hong Kong at the same time. It's gonna be a lot of fun!
