This afternoon I'll be in her classroom co-teaching a Chinese New Year lesson with another special Mom who also has an adopted child from China.
Josie and I spent Sunday evening preparing her Lucky Money red envelopes (filled with chocolate gold coins) to share with her classmates. I also found Chinese fireworks candy at Oriental Trading company. 
More pictures coming Wednesday!

Happy Day to you, Josie and her school friends . . .
Love all the red . . .
and Josie's smiles . . .(braids too!)
My goodness you've been having a lot of fun. Please tell Josie I told her "Happy New Year." My first husband was Persian, so my children are half, and the Persian New Year is always the first day of spring, so now I have three New Years to keep track of. I just can't tell you how special you are for keeping Josie's culture alive for her.
God Bless,
Meri
How cute she is :)
Such a great way to share the culture with Josie's class. I'm so glad you Mom's take the time to do this!
What a fun opportunity to open up the world for ALL the kids in the classroom. They will remember this for years to come.
I have learned so much about Chinese culture from your blog. So many things I didn't know. I have a new appreciation for the rich traditions of Josie's native land. She is such a lucky little girl...she will always know who she is. I remember little things that made me feel special as a child...and I am still grateful for what I learned about my heritage.
Looks like fun. I bet te kids are going to love it!
So wonderful!! Have a fun day!! xo Heather
She is adorable. I love how you honor her birth culture as part of how special she is in your family.
What an adorable toothless smile!
Happy Day!
I hope the lesson plan goes well, I am certain it will be well received! That is a lovely photo of Josie filling the envelopes and I have never seen candy fire crackers, how fun!
I'm sure everyone has had a good time today! You are always so well-prepared, Kim! xo Nellie
Kim, what a wonderful costume you found for your daughter's special day. There are so many neat traditions I have learned from your blog. Always such a pleasure to visit here! E
