Happy New Year! Welcome to the Year of the Snake!
We had a fabulous celebration last night with some of Katrine’s China sisters. It is always a pleasure to watch the girls together playing, laughing and bonding. The fact that it provides time to chat with friends is an added bonus which we throughly enjoy. Thank you to our gracious host and hostess, it was a wonderful way to welcome in the new year.
If you have been following our blog, you know that we usually mark the new year by attending a new year’s banquet for adoptive families. It is enjoyable and when we decided to give something different a try (it seemed too much coming off the whiplash, concussion and illness train) Katrine mentioned that she would particularly miss the lion dance. With a PA Day and a Snow Day we had a lot of time to craft our very own dragon. Unfortunately it didn’t last too well (never tape the “body” onto the “head” as it pulls apart too easily) but at least the girls had fun with it before it pulled apart.
And now for some new year’s party photos:
