Out with the year of the horse, in with the sheep, goat or ram!
Thursday marks Chinese New Year, the longest and most important holiday in the Chinese calendar. 2015 is the year of the goat, but you may see it referred to as the “Year of the Sheep or Year of the Ram” too.
I did a little research and the confusion stems from the Chinese character “yang”, which can translate in Chinese as either sheep or goat or ram.
Regardless of the animal, Josie is looking forward to sharing her special holiday with her classmates next Monday.
I'm sure I can get creative and capture a few pictures of her party.
Wishing you a happy and prosperous New Year!

Josie must be so excited! This holiday really gives her a time to shine and she certainly is a star.
Love this tradition that you do with Josie each year. One lucky little girl.
Adorable little toys, but even more adorable little Josie! You are the sweetest mommy!

I heard that it depends on what part of the country one is from whether it is the Year of the Goat or the Year of the Sheep. Regardless, it is definitely time to send wishes for a Happy New Year! xo Nellie

Happy Chinese New Year to you and your sweet family! I love how you celebrate every year! Hope you have a great weekend too!
Happy New Year! We were just at Panda Express last night (I know- the travesty, while you're talking about traditional China!) and I was telling the kids about how each year was symbolized with an animal. They were asking what this year is- now I can tell them an answer!
Happy Chinese New Year, Kim! Josie looks so cute:)

Happy New Year Musing Mama! I had one little vignette of CNY this year, all the Asians in the family are in their own homes now...Might need to take a trip to the local Korean restaurant though to celebrate someone else's authentic cooking! Aren't we blessed to have these children who we learn from!?
Loving your rag garland! ♥
