Chinese New Year











































We have celebrated CNY the last couple of years however this year was the absolute best. This year was special because Hannah was finally home and able to celebrate with us. We started out by making lanterns and decorating the house. We made chocolate dipped fortune cookies and filled lucky money envelopes for our friends at co-op. On CNY we spent the day at the Huntington library where they have a beautiful Chinese garden and then went to a yummy Chinese restaurant with my parents for dinner. Today we celebrated with friends who also have adopted Chinese beauties at the Down Town China Parade. We shopped and ate and watched a fun parade. It has been so fun for all of us to learn so much about our daughters culture and incorporate that into our own families. It has been a week of new and wonderful memories that we will cherish forever.
