We kicked off the start of Chinese New Year yesterday with a visit to Josie's classroom.
Her best friend Kaden is also adopted from China and his talented mom and I had fun sharing this special holiday with their classmates.
We used bubble wrap for firecrackers and I think Josie's teacher had just as much fun making noise as his students.
We also passed out red envelopes filled with chocolate gold coins and Kaden's mom came up with a neat crafting activity where the kids could make a paper monkey and attach it to their paper lantern.
A fun time was had by all.
Wishing you good health, good luck and much happiness throughout the year.
Youre the best Kim and Truly, she gets more and more beautiful every time you post a picture of her! Nice to have someone help with all the fun activities! love the monkeys on the lanterns!
