Lucy Mei turns 2 on May 24th!
Birthdays are a BIG deal 'round our house and every little girl needs a party! So, I contacted our agency for advice and approval on sending Lucy Mei a birthday cake using a care package service in China. They agreed (as long as we didn't request an update....all correspondence must go through the agency).
The service is called Red Thread China and the lady's name is Ann. We love Ann! We sent Ben's care package using her service and even hired her as our personal shopping assistant while in Guangzhou. We couldn't keep up with her! She's a tough little negotiator too!
Ann emailed our care package photos today and said the package will be delivered on Lucy Mei's birthday!!! :)
The package will include the following:

The package will include the following:
- a translated letter we wrote to Lucy Mei
- a disposable camera (hopefully returned to us with photos when we meet Lucy Mei!)
- candies for the nannies
- a stuffed pink puppy (soooo cute!)
- a custom pillow collage with our family photo, including Lucy Mei
- a 12-14" fresh cake
But, most importantly, Ann said the orphanage agreed to send photos from her birthday party!!! Oh my!! YAY!!!!!
I am so excited for you all that you are adopting again!! I followed your journey with Ben and he is the cutest thing ever! And Lucy is beyond cute also!! I will definitely continue to follow your journey to bring Lucy into her forever family. And we live in the same city too!
ReplyDeleteHi Becky!! Thanks for commenting! Yes, I remember you and still follow your blog today! So glad you will be following along. We think she's pretty stinkin' cute too! :)
