Joshua's Birthday!

We celebrated Joshua's birthday on Thursday, May 20, at school. In Korea, he stays 5, but in America he turned 4! He was my first one to turn 4, and Alice and Sunny are still three for now.

All the celebrations begin with the student being ushered outside of the classroom until the class is asked, "Who's birthday is it?"
When they respond, "JOSHUA!!!" (or whatever other student), then the student comes in from outside. Joshua walked in like the super precious, shy boy that he is, hunched over and dragging his feet. Please note Irene's shoes. She's 40.

Then, we sing happy birthday to the student! Joshua had this look on his face the entire time.

Then, of course, he blows out the candles on his cake.

Then, each student presents him or her with his or her present. They hug, and pose for a photo op.

Then we have a little photo shoot behind all of the food. Here is Joshua with his mommy.

Joshua and Molly Teacher!

Me and my kiddos. This was the best one taken... They were excited to eat.

The mom usually brings a cake, chicken, fruit, and often pizza and juice. We always do birthday parties the period after lunch, which is silly, so they always make for a very full day!

Alice's birthday is coming up... pictures will follow!
