Happy Chinese New Year! It's the year of the horse! It's times like this that I realize just how American I am. I have to admit I do not know enough about my own culture. But I'm thankful for living close to my parents so they can help me instill Chinese traditions for my girls. And I'm also thankful that we live in a large city with a huge Asian population. This year I told Abby that we would try to see a dragon dance so by golly, we did. We've had a full week of school, play dates and general no napping so we were pushing our luck today. But in the end, all went well and within 10 minutes of coming home just now, every one is napping except for me. I'm thoroughly enjoying my quiet blogging time right now. I wasn't able to get many pictures since we were all eating at a restaurant (you know how that goes with kids...) but here's what I was able to get. I'm just glad we got to spend time with family today!
Xie xie Lao Nian, Lao Yie! Xin nian kuai le!
We ran into an old friend Hsu bui bui too!
The Chens!
Lilly wasn't having any of this since she was sleepy so Bryce was walking outside with her. Wish the Baldwins could have joined us!
We made our way to the Chinese Community Center and Abby finally got to see dragon dancing! She had the best seat in the house. :)
Lilly is barely hanging in there...what a trooper!
Haha, she and my dad both need hair cuts!
YAY! I love hearing the drums beating.
Abby and Lilly each got a little lantern from Lao Nian and Lao Yie. We had so much fun today!
