Happy Birthday Magdalene!

Magdalene turned 11 on February 8 this year.  She is a lovely girl and always willing to do whatever we ask without complaint or argument.  She is a favorite with her sisters and brother because of her kindness.  We are grateful for Magdalene in our family.

The color of the week is red because it is Chinese New Year.  Magdalene's birthday happens to fall each year somewhere close to this auspicious holiday.   And this is the year of the snake--mine and Magdalene's year!  Ella was the one who got into it the most, loving her Chinese dress and the celebrations at school and around the neighborhood.  This used to be Magdalene's dress when she was in Kindergarten . . .
