baby shower

My dear friends here hosted a baby shower for me on May 30. I realized the other day the pictures were on my camera and therefore hadn't been shared with you yet. 

In China there's a tradition at Chinese New Year to give red envelopes full of money called "hong bao."

The shower adopted this tradition and we were blessed to receive diapers, wipes, and hong baos. 

We played a few games, one where the ladies had to guess if a certain statement applied to me, to James or to both. The highest scoring pairs were both the pairs that had a local participant (not two foreigners paired together). Even with a language barrier of playing a game their second or third language, our local friends still know us best :)

The hostess of the shower has two daughters who made this sign for the door so we would know which house to enter :)
