Chinese New Year

Every year since we've been a family we have always celebrated the Chinese New Year with our good friends the B's. We had plans to celebrate together on the actual weekend of Chinese New Year this year but it got delayed because Dan, Lia and I were all sick that weekend. So tonight we finally got to do our New Year celebrations with the Bakers and also another couple we've met through our adoption agency. That couple, Rick and Vicki, are a couple of weeks ahead of us as far as their Log In Date in China but we were both logged in the month of January. So they hope to possibly get their referral in the next batch from China that comes in a week. So we spent a fair amount of time telling them about the trip to China, the adoption process and what they could possibly expect. And for the first time this year Ava, who is Hannah's baby sister, joined in our New Year celebration. And next year when we celebrate CNY we are planning on Chloe joining the gang. And also this year, Lia and Hannah both brought their American Girl dolls dressed in Mandarian style dresses as well. It was a great evening. Happy Year of the Rat!
