This is What Happened at Chinese New Year...

Since Meggie was in Germany, it was just the four of us at the CNY celebration. The Littles LOVE this annual event!
This year's entertainment was geared more to the boys in attendance. With the recent jump in adoption of boys, our FCC group is becoming much more balanced in the girl-to-boy ratio.
But Carson still manages to be surrounded completely by the ladies. Whatta stud! Actually, in that picture, he couldn't have cared less that he was surrounded by a bunch of cute girls...
...he was mesmerized by the kung fu demonstration! The Tweens-to-Teens group always organizes a craft for CNY and this year's was a big hit.
In case you didn't know, this is the Year of the Rabbit. I thought those rabbit masks were incredibly cute!
But THOSE masks were just downright scary!! Yikes! The kids love being part of the Dragon Parade...
...and the older boys always do a great job with the Lion Dance!
We ate some pretty good Chinese food...
...posed for a family picture (thanks, Lou Ellen, for taking that!)...
...and enjoyed a fabulous juggler!
I wanted to get a quick picture of our kids with Doug and Lou Ellen's little ones...
...but I think the kids were fed up by then. Sorry, kids...but you looked awfully festive!

Happy Year of the Rabbit to all!
