Happy Gung hay fat choy! The Chinese New Year celebration has just ended. We have a large Chinese population on the island, so this is a big deal. Chinese New Year begins on the first day of the first month of the year with a new moon. This year, that was February 7. The celebration ends fifteen days later. The Chinese hat he made in preschool shows all of the symbols from the Chinese lunar calendar.
We sent in a box of Chinese almond cookies for share and tell at preschool. Son1 came home with a little red envelope containing coins in honor of Chinese New Year.
On Friday his class went to Chinatown for the celebration. This is the year of the rat.

I love the first picture - the look on his face is priceless “just take the picture already mom”. At least it was more of a smile in the next snap shot ;).
