The new house that we are renting has a theme. How can a house have a theme, you ask. Simple. There are Asian Rabbits EVERYWHERE. From the bright red door with a rabbit windchime and chinese writing hanging above, to the rabbit shaped stepping stones in the backyard, the rabbit items (inside and out) are hard to miss. We even learned that the previous tennants had a live rabbit living in one of the bedrooms upstairs. So with the Chinese New Year celebrating the Year of the Rabbit, we felt it our duty to celebrate. This is our lucky year, apparently.
How did we celebrate? It began as a craft day galore.... chinese lanters, fortune cookies made out of felt, lucky red envelopes with chocolate gold coins in them, chinese yo-yos, finger cuffs, chinese horoscopes, sparklers, chopsticks...and then ended with some yummy chinese food Rob brought home for dinner. Oh, yes, and the dragons...
We had the "tame" dragons...
The "ferocious" dragons...
The "kissing" dragons...
And "baby" dragons.
and much more...
Earlier that day we had Ethan's preschool co-op at our house. The boys all loved making their own dragons and chinese lanterns. We then had a parade with our creations up and down the steet (roars and all).
