Every Chinese New Year, we gather with other local families who have adopted kids from China and have a little Chinese New Year party. I think it's a great opportunity for the kids to be around other kids who share similar histories. This year, Taylor babysat Elli at home so we could enjoy the festivities a little bit more (in the past, one of us has pretty much had to be in the hallway with her the entire time-- she doesn't do well with large crowds.) Parker had a basketball game and Jesi stayed home-- so we just ended up with six kids. I had forgotten how easy just having six kids can be! We had a great night eating yummy Chinese food, visiting, crafting, and doing the annual "Dragon Parade." Happy Chinese New Year!
Graci always hides when there's a camera around...
...but we were able to catch a little glimpse!
What a fun night! I love the family picture...and love Sophi's bangs!
ReplyDeleteGreat family photo. I think I even see a halo-like beam from heaven shining on the heads of Jeremy and Christianne!
