Chinese New Year

Two weeks ago, we went to a Chinese New Year celebration at Navy Pier in Chicago.

There was a Kung Fu demonstration (the boys LOVED that!)

but Lily--not so much...

There was a lion dance (which we actually missed, but got to see the lion head close-up anyway)

And of course, there were New Year crafts like mask-making and lantern making...

Best of all, there was glitter--lots and lots and LOTS of glitter. Glitter on our lanterns, glitter on our masks, glitter in our car and on our floor...the glitter will never go away...
