Chinese New Year!!




Wow - we had such a great time celebrating Chinese New Year for the first time ever this year! We went to a wonderful party with lots of other beautiful children from China and their parents who live in North Atlanta. My friend, Kelly, invited us and we had such a great time meeting other families. Anna had a great time and seemed to be thrilled to see other children just like her (only much bigger!). She was by far the smallest there -- in size -- not in age!! We also went over to John and Elizabeth's home (our wonderful neighbors who have also adopted from China). John's mother, father and aunt were there. John's mother gave each child a red envelop and the kids were thrilled! It was wonderful learning all about the holiday. In January, Spencer and I had been to an exhibit at the High Museum called "The First Emperor". It was wonderful and had some of the terracotta warriors and told the story of how they were found. We had a very good history month in January.
