Letter to Immanuel, Reiko and Ariel #260 #41 Reiko's 9th Birthday, Playdates with Erik, Caleb, Cable Car Rides

 Dear Imm, Ko and Ri,

We celebrated Ko's birthday in July! Happy Birthday Ko! First Auntie Meijing arranged a surprise play and swim date for Ko and we bought a cake to celebrate.

With Kate and Tyler!

And then later on in the day with family! 

Later on in the week we also had HDL, it was our first time and surprisingly, everyone loved it especially Imm! Dear Ko, we indeed have a lot of meals and little gifts, we got the golden necklace and also your white fleece jacket... :) Although you turn 9 this year, we have always thought that you are really matured in your thinking. Especially when Mummy was not well, you really took care of me well and comforted me with your wise words and actions. We pray that you will continue to be happy and healthy. Your recent wish is that everyone can go to heaven and we were so touched when we heard that.

See Ko showered with lots of love by her siblings!

Enjoying the doughnuts made by Auntie Vika..

Daddy also signed up for an annual cable car package to also celebrate Ko's birthday, we will remember this for sure!

We took the cable car in the evening and it was lovely watching the evening scenery around us..

Aunt Elaine also brought Imm and Ko on an outing and also to eat at Sushi express... so grateful to have parent friends and kids friends!

We also went for a playdate at Aunt Ashanti's place and Imm and Ko had a fun time playing Nintendo Switch while Ri enjoyed swimming with Mummy and Daddy.

Imm also had his fair share of fun on a playdate with his friend, Caleb and Caleb's friends. These days, Imm, you always have friends asking you out on playdates, even when they are not your classmates now, looks like you are very popular!
