Ha Jyn's Birthday weekend


My little girl is all grown up!
It seems like just yesterday when she did not have any facial hair...

Ha Jyn had a great birthday weekend. 
Her true birthday day entailed:

 Noodles and Ice cream at her boyfriends house.
This is Jason and Celine's Grandma. She takes such great care of Ha Jyn every time we visit.  Ha Jyn is so lucky! Also a huge birthday cookie, because every   girl deserves a birthday cookie!                      

A trip to Monterey's version of a children's museum. 






enjoyed some cupcakes with her new friends that we watch a couple nights a week.

On Friday we had a small octopus/ocean themed party.
Here is the ocean I sewed for her. I tried to make it interactive
by making the ocean animals removable.
She likes taking them off and playing with them from time to time. 



Octopus food!! We don't really eat hot dogs or cress ant rolls,
but those suckers sure can be manipulated into all sorts of things! 





Ice cream cake with Celine and Jason. 
She scored some awesome presents from them. 
Thanks Celine and Jason!!


Saturday was Whale Fest in Monterey. Perfect timing for a birthday girl who loves the ocean! 

Sunday we went back to Ha Jyn's boyfriend's house to celebrate 설날, Korean New Year.
In Korea you celebrate by bowing to your relatives and collecting money.
So if your a kid it is basically one of the most exciting days of the year. 
My friend Anna was telling us that it is also a way to find out which relative you are a favorite of (based on how much money you got compared to your siblings).
I wish I could have gotten a picture of all three kids together in their Hanboks.
They all looked adorable!

I LOVE the ocean scene, it's so creative! I am working on sewing something for Eli, but it pales in comparison. It looks like Ha Jyn had a fun birthday this year.
