She turned 8 years old today and we were so excited to celebrate with her.
Yesterday she had her birthday party and she chose...
KUNG FU PANDA!!!
Rachel begging and begged to put up the decorations early, but we had to wait until the morning of the party. We put up lanterns and balloons and chinese parasols all over the house.
Rachel said that it actually looked like a real chinese kitchen! hahaha! Love that girl!
To start the party, we practiced eating with chopsticks!
I was pretty impressed with how well the kids learned to hold them and pick up marshmallows
We also had fun chinese music playing and tons of origami crafts through out the party.
Oh, here is the invitation to the party. A BIG felt fortune cookie with the invitation inside. So FUN!
On to the lunch...
Eating DUMPLINGS!!!
Check out those noodles, Rachel!!!
It was so much fun to watch everyone try something new!
An awesome pop-up card from Jordan!
Great friends- Rachel & Jordan! It's such a blessing to have such a great friend!
Richard took this quick picture of the cupcakes and the counter!
This is a great snapshot of the behind the scenes of the day!
What a fun party!
Our big girl Rachel, getting ready for church today with Richard!

We love you so much, Rachel, and are so happy every day that you are in our family!!!
