Chinese New Year Celebration 2007

Year of the Pig

Julia showing off her Lunar year fortune money
Julia trying to read a little Chinese. Check out my new specs. We have to call them specs because every time you say the word "glasses", she will take them off.
Carson giving Meme an after lunch workout. See if you can catch me now, Meme.
Matthew has to resort to leading Julia off the dance floor with money.

Matthew thinks he saw the rubberband under his chair that represented him winning the fish from our table. I think it was ABC gum that he really saw.

Have you ever tried to eat lunch with two babies running around? The food was buffet style and was absolutely not authentic Chinese food as stated. It was awesome. We will definitely attend this first class celebration next year. Unfortunatley, the pics of the lion dance and double dragon dance did not turn out well. I will work on fixing those and reposting. They had a group of college kids from Ohio drive 11 hours to perform for this event. They did a bang up job. The kids had a fun time and got to learn a little more about the Chinese culture. Chase decided to wear his outfit to school the next day and shared a little about his experience at the celebration.
