Chinese New Year!

Ridiculously tardy photos?  Yes.  But they're still ridiculously adorable even if the Lunar New Year was a full two months ago!

This year at the annual gathering of people in our general vicinity with kiddos from China we had a new addition to the party - a lunar new year animal story play.  It was... energetic.  And Ben played a very compelling Chinese Emperor.

The whole fabulous cast

Parade time! Our girls' favorite part of the evening

Here comes WanYing the dragon butt

This is why you see so few photos of Ben

Even when you can only see a sliver of his face, he manages to make the photo "unique".  Sigh.

Gung hay fat choy and hope that your Lunar New Year started as happily as ours did!
