Birthday Beauty

Two years ago at Hope's birthday party Auntie Tu planned some fun things for all the Group 91 girls. In Chinese tradition, she placed a number of objects on the table, explained to each of the girls the significance of each item in Chinese. Maybe other group 91 members can help me out if I miss anything:

egg = will always be fed
lipstick = beauty
book = academic prowess
money = wealth
crayons = artistic ability

Each girl's choice is said to show a future characteristic of her life. When Hope chose the lipstick that day, we already knew she was a beautiful little girl. Her resilient spirit has inspired us so much over these past two years. We've grown to know a precious, kind, polite, and happy little lady whose beauty is much much deeper than skin deep.
