Year of the PIG

Today we went to our first of three upcoming Chinese New Year parties. When we were in China we picked out some fabric and had a jacket made for me and a matching dress for her so we wore them today. I was so happy her dress fit so we could look alike.







Today's party was the large FCC one so there were lots of people there and fun things to do. The first thing we did was go to the craft tables. Mia's mama was working the front door so we had "twins" today. The girls had fun making necklaces and dragon ornaments. After the crafts they both got fans and then had fun falling down and laughing. (click on collages to make them larger)


What party is complete without food?? PF Chang's catered and it was great. Annslee and Mia enjoyed the noodles the most as you can see. Then we got our fortune cookies ( I think Annslee had five of them..she is soooo fortunate). One of hers said "Many pleasurable and memorable adventures are in store for you" I thought that was pretty cool and couldn't help but think of our upcoming adventure to Vietnam. However, her next one said "Reach for your dreams..start with the spring rolls" I guess PF Changs made some of these up themselves ; )


The local Chinese Arts Alliance graciously volunteered to come and perform their Lion Dance. Annslee had been talking about it and kept saying she was going to say "ROOOAAARRR" to the Lion. Well, about halfway through it she decided being in Dada's arms was the best place to be. They were great but they were large and loud!




We had a great time at the party and look forward to our next two coming up. Next year we will be really busy going to CNY and TET parties!




Jenny sent me a couple of photos of Mia and Annslee..one from this year and one from last year. WOW...have they grown up!

cute dress! I wanted to have one made when we were in China, but I am 100x larger than the avg Chinese woman and was too embarrassed. Annslee is so BIG compared to that last picture!

Great pictures, I didn't even realize you guys matched when I saw you at the party. I can't believe how much the girls have changed in just one year.

It's been a while since I looked at your blog and I can't believe what a big girl Annslee is now! She doesn't look like a baby anymore with all of that hair! She's still just as cute as ever, though! :)
