December 1st is the most magical day of the year! It was definitely a different kind of magic here...I've never had a blue sky, sunny 70 degree birthday before, but I sure enjoyed it! I CANNOT believe it's December! I honestly have no idea how time has flown by so quickly; it seems like I just barely jumped on a plane. Two more weeks teaching my kiddos, two weeks to travel, 14 hours on a plane, and I'll be back in America. I have very mixed emotions about leaving this beautiful place, but either way - I'm excited to live it up my last month in Taiwan!
Birthday pic for you Mom: 23 years old!
Birthday magic from my awesome roommates :-)
We have a tradition of decorating each other's fridge on birthdays...Libby made this rockin Robert puppet that greeted me for breakfast.
Birthday/Christmas love from my wonderful family! All of the above actually fit in the box...good work, Mom!
Birthdays spent in a foreign land are great, in that you get lots of MAIL! Thanks everybody!
Best part of my day: My morning kindergarteners greeted me with birthday wishes, a birthday song, and then mobbed me with rubber duck stickers! Cutest. Thing. Ever.
I LOVE THESE KIDS!!!
Another best part of my day: My roommates have become quite good friends with Reggie, and they know how much I like the lil' guy. They made him this birthday hat and sign, and Allison surprised me with the following pictures of Reggie and my students! I laughed so hard I cried. Love it!

Yet another best part of my day: SNOW! Thanks for the Blizzard in a Bucket, Daniel!
One more best part: amazing surprise birthday cake! Thanks Libby-dear!
Yay for Birthdays! I am glad you had such a good day, you deserved it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for having a birthday!
ReplyDeleteOH Kristi! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I love those pictures. Sometimes being away for certain holidays is hard, but then they're made so much better when you have good friends who support you. :)
