This is the third year we have gotten together with fellow adoptive families and friends to celebrate Chinese New Year and this year was no exception. New baby home, jet lag and all! And we were so glad we went! The party is something that Cupcake really enjoys and we are trying to be diligent about keeping her life reasonably normal now that Little Miss Sweet Cheeks is home. The girls were all adopted from China and it is amazing to see how their friendship's with one another has grown throughout the years.
The Year of the Rabbit was welcomed with crafts, yummy Chinese food, firecrackers, a lion dance, Chinese music, red envelopes and plenty of laughs. The host family did another great job. Mrs. Cheryl loves cooking Chinese food and each year she makes the main dishes herself. Each family bring something to share... we are the fried rice family. One year, I made it from scratch but this year it was takeout from our local Chinese restaurant. Still very yummy!
It is great having this annual celebration with families just like ours. We are already looking forward to celebrating next year!!!! Enjoy the pics....
Love the pictures!
