Charli turned 2 today! We went to church in the morning and she handled it quite well. After nap this afternoon we went swimming at the RAC and then came home for Korean food and cake. We made many of Charli's favorites including bulgogi, jap chai (glass noodle dish with veggies), rice, gim (seaweed) and oranges. She was just delighted to have her favorite foods. She grinned ear to ear through the whole meal. She did a great job using the kid chop sticks. She ate SO much we thought we might have to cut her off before she made herself sick. We had brought Pororo (a funny little penguin dude that all Korean children adore) decorations and plates from Korea and also got her Hello Kitty balloons and cake. She enjoyed blowing her candle out so much that we kept relighting it for her. She opened her presents and got a teddy bear from big sister Abby and a doll and a Pororo microphone from Mom and Dad. She loved her gifts.
It's hard to believe Charli has been with us such a short time. She fits in our family as if she has always been there. She is a very happy little girl and is always smiling and laughing. She even has the ability to joke with us. She is very smart and she is starting to learn English, though we quite enjoy listening to her Korean. We are so grateful that she was home for her second birthday.
