This is all new to us, and it's been so fun to learn together and create some new family traditions. I am not all that skilled in Chinese cuisine, so we ordered from the experts! We also made some Chinese cookies (aka red sugar cookies... I tried), made paper dragons, lit firecrackers (Daddy did while we watched from the warm indoors!), listened to Chinese tunes, gave the kids money in little red envelopes, tried our best at chopsticks, and dressed in the traditional Chinese outfits we bought at the market in Guangzhou.
Gong Xi Fa Cai! Gongxi! (恭喜)
Just for fun... our Chinese animals by birth year...
BJ - the Rooster
Jessie - the Monkey
Canaan - the Ox
Ezra - the Rabbit (our ox and rabbit should totally be reversed)
Lainey (the coolest of all) - the Dragon
We are a diverse bunch! :)
