We have had a great time celebrating Chinese New Year this year. We participated in several activities. First, we got together with the families wetraveled to China with in 2004. The girls have such a wonderful timetogether. I wasn't there but know they had a great time. Two of the families took Rachel to see Chinese dancers the next weekend. She had a blast with 2 of her Hengyang sisters. They took us out to eat Mexican after the show. I was beyond exhausted fromm staying at the hospital and really enjoyed the food and company.
FCC (Families with Children from China) had 2 gatherings. The first was the monthly dinner at our favorite Chinese restaurant. The second gathering with the big Chinese New Year celebration. There were over 500 people at the gathering. We enjoyed great food, crafts for the kids, shopping, dancing, and gathering of friends/family.
Next year will have to also include Tet. It is going to take some research and outreach to the Vietnamese community. We will do some shopping of Vietnamese items to decorate our home.
Now it is time to take down the decorations and put them away until next year. I am so happy we bought all the things we did while in China.
