Tibetan and Han twins Dudu and Duoduo was born in Lasa on Oct. 2, 2008. With the blessing from relatives, this pair of twins celebrated their 2nd birthday yesterday. Their father Baijie is a tall handsome tibetan man, and their mother Honghong a beautiful girl from Dalian.

Since born, this pair of twins have brought joy to the Tibetan-Han family. During the national holiday, they can celebrate not only the national festival with the whole country, but also the birthday with the children, and they have double happiness.

In Tibet, people send Hada the white scarf for birthday. Many friends come with Hada for the mother, and with blessing for the babies. Soon, the well-dressed Honghong was surrounded by snow white Hada.

Undoubtedly, the implicit Dudu and Lively Duoduo were the highlight for the day, completely overwhelmed by blessing like "Zhaxidele(Tibetan, meaning happiness)", and "Happy birthday".

Nowadays, it has become a fashion for Tibetan families to have cakes or hotel buffets for birthday. The family prepared a large cake for the lovely babies too, with the singing birthday candles at the beginning of the buffet. Young as they were, the understanding babies even blew the candles with their mother and aunt. How lovely they were!
