It's year of the rat. I was glad to be here for Chinese New Year as the entire town is in a good mood and decorated extravagantly. Dan had a few days off. It technically started Wednesday with a parade on Thursday, fireworks on Friday and some other stuff over the weekend. We missed the parade and fireworks as they started after Stella's bed time. We're in sleep school so we can't be very flexible with her schedule. She's been sleeping really well though so it's been worth it. The photos are from a party we had on Sunday at Stella's friend Nana's house. Stella is trying to grab Max's hat in the photo. She's always trying to do something like that. Everyone brought something to eat and there were plenty of biscuits for the babies. All of the babies were dressed up. Stella also received quite a few lai see envelopes (I'll have to remember to bring some next year...we're never here on CNY so I forgot about that) so she was able to pay for the taxi rides there and back! Dan was pleased that she earned her keep for once.
The hotel had a party on the following Wednesday. CNY is now over so we're sad to see all decorations disappear until next year.
