Yoyo and AbbeyWe are kicking off Chinese New Year today even though it's a week away. We had a big celebration at school with all the children performing and then a dumpling feast. Tomorrow we will have a staff New Year party, very fun!
A brief serious moment, followed by the usual joyous demeanor.
My class, ready to do their monkey dance.And their lion dance.
And their ribbon dance.
Abbey's class singing their lantern song. 
Abbey and Amy, our sweet friend and art teacher. 
The grandmothers showing us how to make the jiaoza. They were so delicious!
Abbey and our beloved Miss Heidi.
Winding down now with her slippers on.I don't usually let Abbey use the camera, but she talked me into it here, and instructed me to put it on my "puter", meaning the blog.

Absolutely precious!!! I found your blog and have really enjoyed reading of your adventures in China. I know you are doing great things there.
Happy Early Chinese New Year to you and your sweet girl!
I love, love, love it! Abbey looks so cute and seems to have adjusted so well. I am so happy for you two. We will be celebrating CNY here with some other adoptive families. I cannot wait! Happy CNY to you both!
Abbey is a great photog! Glad to see another pic of you too! She is getting so big. How exciting to be in China for New Year! Take in every wonderful moment and enjoy, you both deserve it.
Love and miss you,
Michelle and the gang
I think Miss Abbey needs a camera of her own. She takes a good picture! I LOVE the beautiful clothes on everyone and y'all (see the South kicking in) look SO HAPPY!
Love to you,
Amanda
her outfit is stunning...now these are the cherished memories you will never forget...what it would be like to celebrate CNY actually in china instead of your local chinese restaurant!
You both look so happy and beautiful!
Kimberley

Happy New Year! Looks like you all are celebrating in style!
Wow, what an amazing experience to celebrate Chinese New Year in China. I'll bet it's something the two of you will never forget. Best wishes.
I love the costumes! You both look like you're having so much fun.
:-)
Abbey and Christy, what a wonderful time you are having. There is no greater way to celebrate CNY than to be immersed in the culture. Enjoy each and every minute this is a once in a lifetime experience.
Enjoy each and every minute.
happy new year!
Shauna and MacLean xoxo
And what a lovely picture of Abbey's Mama it is! You should let her take pictures more often (it's fun to see what kids think is important enough to take photos of -- and everything else can simply be deleted, simply!)
I've never seen pony tails like those (well, maybe in the book Pippi Longstocking!)...is that a CNY thing or a school thing, or something else (maybe a new trend that will hit the American shores soon?).
Your class did very well in their dances, and the "lion"/"dragon" heads are great!
Happy Lunar New Year!!!
Happy New Year! I love Abbey's hat. The lion dance and ribbon dances were cute!! Wish I was there celebrating too!!
Are you the only adoptive parent at the school?
I know you must hear this all the time, but what an AMAZING experience (ok maybe not the roaches) and opportunity to spread love to others. You always have such wonderful pictures and eye-opening postings. Thank you!
What a great celebration! It all looked like so much fun. You have a future photographer there!
It's so fun reading your blog. I'm so happy you are doing this. How exciting to be celebrating CNY in China. I've forgotten how long your commitment is to be in China.. 2 years?
It looks as though you guys have adjusted and are sailing smoothly. Will keep you in my prayers!
Fun, fun!
Happy CNY to you two :0)
I love how Abbey looks at Yoyo at the first picture!
Greetings Leo!

Abbey looks so cute in her pink dress! Hope you had a great time!
Love the pics.
So cute! Happy New Year!!
That is so cool.. getting to spend Chinese New Year in China. The two of you will have so many neat memories to share of your time there.
Happy CNY to you both!

If you're seeking to stop smoking, stopping "cool turkey" is actually a awful thought. Laying off without having a way of support for pure nicotine drawback is an uphill combat. Simply because cigarette smoking is habit forming, it's super easy to relapse without the need of some kind of assist when stopping. It's better to use smoking cessation medication, or some sort of therapy when you're able to give up. [url=http://www.x21w12w21.info]Exped7kuke[/url]
