Happy Chinese New Year!

In the midst of all the excitement of Valentine's and Rosie's birthday, we have also been celebrating Chinese New Year. It officially started two weeks ago. We celebrated with some friends by going to dinner at the Grand Garden on the first night of holiday. The following week, Tia did her presentations at school, which was really fun. She read a book, sang a song and shared pictures from China. We also had crafts for the kids and dumplings, which they all loved. It's a very special time for Tia at school with her friends. I was so proud of her for all that she did and she was just so happy.
This weekend, our group of families who all have children from China celebrated with our big party at the Knights of Columbus. What a special night! For the past 6 years, we have celebrated with Tia while waiting for Rosie. This year, it was absolutely wonderful to be there with both of our girls. Most of the group had already met Rosie, but some had not met her yet, so it was fun to introduce her to everyone. They have all been so supportive over the years and share in our joy to finally have her now. It's a wonderful and very special group of people. The night was super fun! Again, I will let the pictures show the night. Enjoy!
