Chinese New Year

We attended a Chinese New Year celebration this weekend with families from the FCC. It was wonderful and we enjoyed it so much. Emma was surrounded by lots of little girls and a few boys who looked like her. They were all beautiful. Chinese New Year is from January 26-February 9 and it is the year of the Ox. Emma was born in the year of the Pig.

Emma and Emi enjoying some goldfish crackers before the real food starts. I was so excited to finally meet this family who live near by and I had talked with on the phone. Emi has specially made hands and feet like Emma, so it's nice to have someone that understands all that goes along with that. They were the nicest people. Emi, like Emma, also has 2 older brothers to keep her out of mischief:) Emi is a dancer and didn't hesitate to show us some of her moves! This girl can dance.

Emma looked like she was having fun. I am so glad you had the opportunity to meet others with children from China. I am sure these will become lifelong frienships for you and for Emma. By the way, your skin looks great!! ....If I do say so myself!! ;)
