No parties on their first birthday. But we made sure that we visited Disney twice. My Mom (the twins’ Lola) joined us the second time we visited Mickey and his Furry Friends. She then spent a week with us in our home in Guangzhou. We had a blast!
Here are the photos of how we spent Nick and Toni’s birthday – twice! – at Hong Kong Disneyland.
