Upcoming Chinese New Year


Chinese New Year is January 26th...this year is the Year of the Ox (in which I was born as well)! The boys are really interested so tonight we dug into the Chinese zodiac. Sam was born in the Year of the Dragon, which seems cool to him. Jack is disappointed that he was born in the Year of the Horse---he said "ponies are lame"...he surely doesn't understand how strong, hard-working, and dependable a horse really is. Ben was born in the Rooster---he wasn't happy about that either :)

Celebrations at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art are Feb 6th...a great experience in Chinese culture in a beautiful setting! Our kiddos enjoyed watching the Lion Dance last year and the traditional music and painting (and the art of course!).
