We started of this year's celebration with a big family dinner on Sunday afternoon (1/22). We had church commitments that morning. This is Hope in her Sunday best.
After singing our way through the morning we were ready to head home and start the preparations. Part of our tradition the past few years has been inviting Hope's grandparents to join in the celebration.
We pass out the Tsing-Tao and everybody has a hand in the preparations.
We were all business in the kitchen. There were some shenanigans going on in the other room, though.
Dinner is served! YUM! Our menu this year: Pork Dumplings, Cream Cheese Wontons, Steak and Onion Stirfry, Sesame Chicken Skewers, Broccoli and Hazelnut Stirfry, Szechuan Green Beans, and Fried Rice. And, P.S. to my family reading this, your effort in staging this photo to make it look like you all used your chopsticks did not go unnoticed. :)
Dessert
After dinner there was time for some Just Dance for Kids and a couple serious rounds of Uno before we called it a night. Happy New Year!!! I just know our year of the dragon is going to be an exceptional one.

Hello! My name is Amy and my husband and I are in the process of adopting a little girl from Yulin, Guangxi Province in China. I hope you do not think I am a stalker or anything. I googled Yulin Guangxi adoptions and I found a blog where a family was adopting a baby from there I saw your comment and I clicked on your picture and found your blog. I really want to meet others who are or who have adopted from Yulin, Guangxi Province. I too have a blog about our adoption Journey to our little girl that we've named Meiya which means beautiful grace in Chinese. She just turned 1. She is in the SWI in Yulin City. I would love to talk to you sometime. Hope is very beautiful and I see you are adopting again. Congratulations!
Amy
