Sienna's Birthday!
Sienna celebrated her fifth birthday with her sisters, some of her extended family, and a few close friends. It was a special day that started early. I think it was about 6:15am when the "Littles" emerged from their room. Sienna was greeted with hugs and Happy Birthdays from her family. Her sisters were so excited to celebrate with her.... Gift opening began immediately. Jeff and I were so proud of Ruby who truly let it be Sienna's day ALL day. Sienna Grace loved her gifts, and enjoyed the start of this new chapter as a five year old!Some of the highlights for me were watching the sisters take care of each other yesterday. We have been talking a lot about being more kind and loving towards each other.. It was evident that everyone was trying to make Sienna's day special.
I just smiled when we went to pick up Sienna's cake as I watched my three daughters walk hand in hand into the store.
Sienna loved being the center of attention at her party. As always the cake was a highlight. She picked it out, and it turned out so pretty. Just like the birthday girl! She loved hearing the birthday song, and blowing out her candles... I guess she loved the cake, because she asked if she could have it for breakfast today!!! (Of course I let her!)
Sienna ended her day snuggled in her bed... She turned to Ruby and said, "I love you Uby!" Every time I hear that I think about what a miracle this life here with Sienna is.
She ended up sleeping in Ainsley's bed, because Jie Jie was at a sleep over.. As you can see she ended her first day of five with one of her gifts. So sweet!

I'm so glad her first birthday was SO special - I can see it was all she wished for and more. What special sisters she has too. And I recognized that birthday present, didn't she have one of these in her referral/care package pictures?
Gosh Diana, you are SO blessed!
Truly.
It makes me emotional, so I can only imagine how you feel.

Can I also just say how special that Tung Tung's best friend celebrated with her.
Indeed, it's no wonder I'm emotional! That is probably the sweetest thing I've ever heard.

What a beautiful Birthday Princess! The pictures are great in capturing her joy. Glad it was such a great day for Sienna and the whole family.
What a special few days it has been in your home! Happy BELATED birthday to Jeff and sweet Sienna. It looks like you had a perfect celebration for your FAB five year old.
When I see Sienna I feel the calm that comes that reminds me so much of what our kiddos need is love and you have clearly given that to her since the moment your eyes saw her and your fingers first touched her.
So very special.
Love you~

I have loved following your journey with Sienna and I'm still a little sad we didn't get to meet her in Guangzhou. :) She is incredibly beautiful and all three of them together just makes my heart leap! What a joyful childhood they will share together! Thank you for sharing.
