Happy Chinese New Year!

We did something this year that was a first for all of us!  We celebrated the Chinese New Year with some close family friends.  Their son was adopted from China and they are waiting to bring home their little girl from China in just a few months.

There were gummy fish representing the real whole fish that they eat on New Years, oranges, chocolate gold coins and other foods that represented something special. This Chinese New Year was the year of the dragon so the kids had a fun making their own Chinese dragons.

I love that our friends are being intentional about bringing Chinese traditions into their home and I hope to do the same for us with Ethiopia.

Happy Chinese New Year!
