Gong Hay Fat Choy! It’s the year of the dragon and it’s a big year for weddings and babies (especially babies I think). May this new year bring you all lots of happiness, wealth and most of all good health!
Our decorations around the house
Here are some photos right before Chinese New Year. Cadence wore the Chinese dress for a mini performance at school. The other photos were taken at the mall right down the street from our apartment. Apparently all the malls around HK compete to see who has the best decorations and our mall wins quite a lot and I can see why. They do a great job with all the decorations for every occasion.
Above are some more photos we took around the mall the day before New Year’s. Also there was an awesome acrobat show right in the mall to0. I’m so glad we took the time to watch it. It was like watching Cirque de Soleil, but at a mall!
Here are the girls all dressed up in their New Year gear. I bought these new dresses/vests for them because the patterns were super cute!
We had a red envelope scavenger hunt and the girls had a blast looking for them. We put two dollar coins and candies in them. Here are the girls after they found all the red envelopes.
Yummy candy!
Money!
When Sienna napped, Cadence and I made “Chinese dumplings.” We made them out of felt for her pretend kitchen. I think they look pretty realistic, don’t you?
Overall, a very relaxing holiday in Hong Kong. We would have loved to be home with family in the States though, but it’s just not feasible with a 16 hour flight!
