New Year Traditions..........

Well, it's that time of the year again. It's time to celebrate Chinese New Year, also called Spring Festival. Today we got the kids dressed in their silks, met some friends for lunch and then headed over to our local Families with Children from China's celebration. Bill and I have attended this event for the past 5 years and many things have been consistent over time.

1. There's always fun shopping to do.


2. There are lots of fun crafts for the kids.


3. There are adorable performances by the children


4. There is always the traditional Lion Dance

which can lead to fear amongst the little ones......


5. The most wonderful thing at each and every celebration is the children.......

I don't think it'll ever get old looking at all the precious children and all the families that have been formed by adoption.
