Surprise party

I was certainly not expecting a party AFTER my birthday...we're usually in the throws of Christmas decorating and such. But that's what T and the kids did yesterday. We all cleaned house as we normally do on Saturdays, and T ran out for some errands with Timothy. It was nothing out of the ordinary. But around 4 in the afternoon, I got a little suspicious when T told Em and me to go get a xi tou (a hair wash). It's a little luxury thing we do once every two weeks or so. But he was whispering things to the kids. So Em and I went. We came back about an hour later, and when I opened the door.... well, here's some pics:






They got me a camera to replace the one that broke TWO YEARS ago. I've missed having one. I guess this means you all can expect more pictures now. :) I've started playing with it a bit already.
