It's finally completed. Our Year of the Rabbit, Chinese New Year celebration. We had lots of fun, making egg rolls and hand made decorations to hang up. We try to have all of the lucky symbols included, along with some Chinese characters. We do everything ourselves, I see it as a way to really get the kids involved in what's happening.
You will see fish for abundance. Bats for luck. Butterflies for longevity. Dragons are a symbol of China itself and always included and considered very lucky. We also made plenty of rabbits this year. If you are an expert on Chinese Calligraphy, please be generous, we do the best we can.
We have fun and try our best to bring a little of China into our home. Ev loves this holiday and gets behind it 100%- though methinks the egg rolls are the main attraction.
This is a picture of each of the kids names. Above is Yi Fu Mei for Ev and below is Dang Ao Zhuang for Liam.
On the first day of CNY , we awoke to see rabbit tracks all over the snow in our back yard. A good omen for the year to come!
