HAPPY YEAR OF THE RABBIT!


We had fun yesterday celebrating Chinese New Year. First we made egg rolls:

Then we made bubble tea:

Then we had a party with friends and family!


"According to the Chinese zodiac, the Year of the Rabbit assigns characteristics such as gracious, cautious, kind, elegant, reserved, soft-spoken, artistic, tender, self-assured, shy, sensitive, compassionate, flexible and lucky, but also opportunistic, superficial, moody, stubborn, self-indulgent and detached."

Daniel is the only rabbit in our extended family. Cautious, kind, artistic, tender, sensitive-yes, soft spoken-not so much. Those others-we'll leave unmentioned ;-)

Today we will go to the big Chinese Association New Year party and tomorrow we will celebrate at the Chinese church.
