Xin Nian Kuai Le! 新年快樂!

Happy New Year! From our family to yours, wishing you good luck and prosperity in the year of the Ox. We spent tonight at a local Chinese New Year party. We enjoyed Chinese food, crafts and games for the kiddos (lantern making and pin the tail on the ox), and of course taking lots of photos of all the little cuties. Grandma Adrienne had the honor (cough, cough) of being the oldest person at the party, so she got to hand out the red envelopes to all of the children and LOVED it. Hannah Claire got her first "taste" of the red envelope tradition. You'll see....

  1. Happy New Year from ours to yours as well! We kicked the Chinese New Year Celebrations off yesterday as well, but I don't have mine up and going yet. Maybe while Allie Girl is down for her nap this afternoon! Hannah's pictures are so sweet and that dress is adorable!!! I love this childs hair Sarah, she is so so cute! Everytime I look at her I can't help but find myself grinning back at her...
    Have a great day.

  2. What a neat thing to have so shortly after your arrival home. It's kind of her introduction to the Chinese community! Yum, yum, on the envelope!!! Ha! All three of you look stunning in the festive outfits, too. Gosh you daughter is gorgeous! Sarah and Kevin, I'm still so tickled to see her in your arms.
