We couldn't have asked for a better day than Sunny skies and 63 degree February weather to celebrate the Chinese New Year with our local adoptive families (Jen, Kate, Kellyann, Deb, Ivy, Jennifer, Kim, Kathy, Gina and Karen, along with all the hubbies) We had a fun filled day of Dim Sum and a Lion Dance parade. We had never had Dim Sum and found it very interesting. The Lion Dance was awesome too.
The store front owners had firecrackers strung outside their stores and whenever the Lion Dancers came upon them, they would dance and then light off the fireworks. They were very loud. Most of the girls would cover their ears as hard as they could.
We then went to a store called Shanghai Express (I think). I felt like I was back in China when we went into this store although the prices were much higher.
We always look forward to spending time with these friends. The girls and Prince Jace too, always have a wonderful time together. We are very fortunate to have them all living close to us. Here are a few pictures from today. ENJOY!!
