Preschool Birthday Party

For Elizabeth's birthday, we wanted to throw a little party for her at her preschool. Nothing big, just something where she could celebrate with her friends. Also, the Korean school term ends at the end of February and we wanted her to celebrate with the classmates she had spent the last year with, so she had her preschool birthday a few days earlier than her actual birthday.

Well, today was that day. We picked up a cake and the rice cakes that we ordered for the kids and teachers to share and dropped them off in the morning. Her teachers rearranged the class schedule a little so that she could have her party in the morning. At the designated time, we went back to her school. The teachers had already set up a table with the cake and rice cakes on it and Elizabeth was sitting in a chair behind the table. She must've known that the party was for her because she didn't even get up to greet us. She just sat there staring at the cake. We sang "Happy Birthday" and she blew out the candles. We didn't stay much longer after that, but assumed they had a good time eating the goodies on the table. It was great to see and I'm sure Elizabeth felt special for that moment. -T
