Year of the OX


We enjoyed having family over to celebrate the Year of the Ox! We had traditional food (as well as some not so traditional), played Chinese checkers, colored dragon masks and learned a little about the traditions of the Chinese New Year.

The girls were all pretty excited to wear their Chinese dresses. Unfortunately, since I can't seem to get the hang of my new camera, the best shot of the three of them doesn't really capture their dresses!


And Jack didn't want to be left out of the picture!



Cousin Kara colored a beautiful dragon mask

We had a lot of fun and thank you all for joining us on Chinese New Year!
