Sweet sixteen!

Three days ago I celebrated my 16th birthday. My mom threw a surprise party for me and all the young women came to wish me a happy birthday. They all donated money and baby clothes to the orphanage I am staying at in China. I felt like I was going to cry cause it was so nice and wonderful that they all were willing to help me. My cousins came too. Angie and Amy and Missy brought a ton of cloths that there little sister grew out of and they are so adorable. Emily gave me a beautiful vase that has the kind of oldish African style that I like and I already put in my room for decoration that night. It was dark but a wonderful birthday, the best ever!
