One last CNY party

Last weekend we celebrated Chinese New Year one more time with our somewhat local playgroup. The group meets an hour to hour and a half from our home so this was our first event with them. M enjoyed the dancing, especially the lions. She is in the bottom of the picture in the pink dress and red leggings.

Here she is with one of the performers from the lion dance. She wasn't quite sure about getting too close to that lion head.

The meal was a pitch in, some homemade Chinese and some take out Chinese, all tasty! M doesn't look all that happy. She was tired and ready to eat.

Here she is after the Dragon parade during which she was given a red envelope and a little spin drum to play. She also had the opportunity to play games and make crafts which she throughly enjoyed. She was wiped out by the time the party ended, especially since she missed her nap.
