Yesterday, we had a simple cake birthday party for Shaling at Grandma & Grandpa's house. It was a chance for her relatives to give her her birthday gifts in person.
Shaling reads her cards to Grandma as she open gifts.
Shaling aims her new camera at me as Grandma, Great Aunt Ann, & Great Uncle Frank look on.

In China, they put fruit on their cake (at least on the cakes that get sent to the orphanages, anyway). So, I asked my mom to try this for me. She made an angel food cake, iced it with dressing used for a grape salad, and used a variety of fruit. I think it turned out splendidly!
My mom also wanted a traditional family favorite, chocolate cake, to be present.
