Chinese New Year



We celebrated Chinese New Year (a week late) yesterday. Our China playgroup got together for lunch at a Chinese restaurant. The timing was a bit challenging - right smack dab in the middle of Mia's normal naptime. Other than that, Mia had a good time. There were about 15 girls from age 3 to 8 or so. A highlight was when the girls took turns parading around the restaurant in a "lion" head. (It looked more like a dragon to me, but the father who brought it said it was a lion.) Mia had a couple of spins with the lion, once in the middle (bottom photo) and another time in the head (shown being carried by another girl).
This morning, Mia's preschool teacher asked her if she had a nice weekend. Mia nodded, saying, "I saw my Chinese friends."
