Happy Year of the Monkey!

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.
