Happy Lantern Festival!

Today we went downtown to see the lights displays as part of the Lantern Festival celebrations. The lights were really pretty. I carried a lantern that I made myself while we oohed and ahhed at all the displays and also fireworks.

Happy Chinese New Year!

It's the year of the Ox and we had a lot of parties to go to. This is why the blog got ignored for so long. Here are some photos from the past few weeks:
