It's a bit late, but, as promised, here's a glimpse of Jonathan's second birthday party at the Kaohsiung Cultural Center. The camera got handed around and I ended up with over 400 photos, so I'll make this a photoblog. It will be just as if you were there!

Vivienne and Jonathan rode to the birthday party in style since their strollers were being used to bring the "birthday in boxes" (and a few bags for good measure.) |
Jonathan loves his bike, but it this picture he's really smiling about bubbles. |
This is my favorite picture of the birthday boy in his daddy's favorite shirt. |
Rachel introduces Jonathan to party blowers. |
Jonathan shows his sister how its done with the bubble gun. |
Emily tries out the bubbles from her goodie bag while Hope masters the art of the party blower. My boss Sophia, Hope's mother, is in the middle. |
Fawkes shows that he is truly the master bubble blower. |
Breanna gets to work on the balloons. |
Daddy and Uncle Mike enjoys the main course of pizza. |
Jonathan's not to sure what to make of his birthday pie. |
Vivienne votes for us to add "bags" to our list of fun things that begin with a "B," but since bags are usually not round, they didn't make the cut. |
This one's round, right mommy? |
Hope really caught on fast to the idea of party blowers. |
Beautiful Katie! |
Vivienne hangs with her favorite Uncle Mike. |
Lucas couldn't decide which hat he wanted. |
Fawkes the Tiger. |
My kids got food from any and everybody. |
Jonathan managed to get the hang of unwrapping gifts pretty fast. |
Yup. Here he's still grasping his Cars DVDs, but mommy presses on, enthusiastically encouraged by daddy to keep going if we want his presence during the operation. |
Vivienne naps through the presents, thanks to Uncle Mike who took her on a walk in her stroller when she started getting fussy. |
The birthday boy takes a little break from all the festivities. |
Eric and family even brought their own ball to the party. Their gift fit in well, too -- BUBBLES!! |
Andrew shows off one of Jonathan's awesome birthday presents. |
Jonathan found another fun, round thing that starts with the letter "B" -- the BUTTONS on the sweater mommy made him for his birthday last year. |
Getting chilly -- Breanna might still be in short sleeves, but mommy made Vivienne put on her sweater, too. |
So glad Cliff and Leanne got to stop by. |
Jonathan returns in style from one last bubble session with the guys. |
All good things must come to an end, even birthday parties. The party is back in the boxes and loaded up and ready for the trip home. |
