Celebrations

About four years ago, the team was at a swanky karaoke bar in town Seth’s birthday when we received the call that Samantha had arrived just in time to share the day with her “creepy uncle.” Recently, we celebrated Seth’s 30th and Sam’s 4th birthdays in good old fashioned Siping style. Having been mocked mercilessly when she hit the same milestone, Rachel was out for a bit of payback when Seth’s 30th rolled around. Hence, the very mature theme for Seth’s party:

The party featured the team stand-by game “pin the something on the something,” reinvented this time as “pin the toupee on bald Seth.”

And a Sonny original game, featuring the music from Seth’s birth year.

Of course, no party is complete without presents. The theme for the presents? 30, of course. Including things such as 30 chopsticks.

30 one yuan bills.

And 30 old man diapers.

Which, unbeknownst to the purchaser, were actually old man diaper sheets, also known as perfect placemats for “poop” cookies.

Of course, no party is complete without cake.

The following day was Samantha’s big bash.

Featuring the very traditional “pin the tail on the donkey.”

Even Maddie had her chance to give the game a try.

Of course there were presents for Sam.

And a cake (as well as specialized cupcakes for the two other people in attendance who happened to share a birthday).

Wishing for another fabulous year for our favorite four year old!
