We bought a wooden construction puzzle in Beijing, a model of the Temple of Heaven. Both Yasent and Lucas spent time on it. This past week Lucas finally completed the project which was fairly frustrating in that the pieces would not stay together. He dubbed it the "Leaning Temple of Hell" but he did finally see it to completion.
Another Chinese creation that we found was a cake topper shaped like a flower that opens with lighted candles on each petal, turns slowly, and plays Happy Birthday. However initially one must get the whole thing going with a fireworks-type flash. As you can see, it was a bit of a surprise.
After the excitement we settled down to chocolate raspberry mousse birthday cake.
