I love all the pics! Did you get to take any of the pre-teens? I’m gathering a bunch of pics of Sam and Kira since they were little for Sam. Oh..BTW…thanks for the link 🙂 Alexa misses all her new friends and especially all the food and of course all the aunties that were carrying her. We are so Joy Luck Club…can’t wait to all get together again.

Jamie, those pix tuned out incredible, (and not just b/c my kids are in some of them)… the colors of the house turned out awesome… these should be in a magazine article about how to throw a b-day party that you should write! Props to Chris too.
