We celebrated Chinese New Year today. Gerry was out of town last week so luckily our FCC chapter held their annual Chinese New Year banquet this weekend. We were able to go as a family. It was held at China Buffet restaurant in Omaha. The food was wonderful and the restaurant was packed with the FCC families. China Buffet brought in Lion dancers to entertain while we ate. There were 3 lions and a buddha performing. 1 lion danced up to Grace and Gerry then the next danced right up to Lila. They were moving so fast that I wasn't able to get a picture of them interacting with our girls. After the dance Sue and Melissa sat with us. Melissa and Grace tried to join the little ones dancing in the lion costume but they were all full. I thanked Lila for bringing these beautiful customs from her birth culture into our lives.

We go on the 28th to Celebrate Greg and I went a few years ago and had a great time even without Mikayla so I know this year will be even better with her. Great pic of the lion and cute Tiger hat. We dont have any creativity in this house thanks for sharing.
Look at those sweet faces (both of you!)
Ok, now I am ready for the newest baby pics! NOW NOW NOW!
