This year, we finally got to join Natalie for Chinese New Year. This is the year of the rabbit which is my birth year ( 3 cycles ago.) Laura and Fred know her from WPI. We had a lot of fun watching the lions dance and through food. The firecrackers were a bit loud and Izzy freaked out after a particularly loud bang during the first dance we saw. We had yummy lunch of dim sum. Izzy nor Griffin ate much but I think Felix and Mae ate more than their share. Mae LOVED the fried rice and slimy dumplings. Me too :) Afterwards, Daddy had to remove Izzy from Chinatown for a bit since she had become paranoid of the fireworks but Mae and I got to see a few more dances with the cousins. We hope to go again next year.
Happy New Year!
